Chronicle Bytes from InputStream

I'm trying to use saxophone for parsing json to protobuf message on the fly, and want to avoid creating string instances for each response.

For that i need to create Bytes instance from InputStream (that is provided from apache http entity).

I'm digging sources for a while but cant find way to do that... any suggestions?

Solution

  • There is two ways you can do this.

    // reuse a string builder if the String cannot be pooled easily
stringBuilder.setLength(0);
bytes.parseUTF(stringBuilder, StopCharTesters.ALL);

    or you can use the built in String pool

    String s = bytes.parseUTF(StopCharTesters.ALL);

    This will work well if there is a relative small number of possible Strings (at least most of the time)
