## Class JsonParserDelegate

- java.lang.Object
- - com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser
  - - com.fasterxml.jackson.core.util.JsonParserDelegate

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Versioned, Closeable, AutoCloseable
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    JsonParserSequence

      public class JsonParserDelegate
      extends JsonParser

  Helper class that implements delegation pattern for `JsonParser`, to allow for simple overridability of basic parsing functionality. The idea is that any functionality to be modified can be simply overridden; and anything else will be delegated by default.

    - #### setSchema

          public void setSchema(FormatSchema schema)

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Method to call to make this parser use specified schema. Method must be called before trying to parse any content, right after parser instance has been created. Note that not all parsers support schemas; and those that do usually only accept specific types of schemas: ones defined for data format parser can read.

      If parser does not support specified schema, `UnsupportedOperationException` is thrown.

      Overrides:
        `setSchema` in class `JsonParser`
      Parameters:

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Accessor for getting version of the core package, given a parser instance. Left for sub-classes to implement.
      Specified by:
        `version` in interface `Versioned`
      Specified by:
        `version` in class `JsonParser`

    - #### getInputSource

          public Object getInputSource()

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Method that can be used to get access to object that is used to access input being parsed; this is usually either `InputStream` or `Reader`, depending on what parser was constructed with. Note that returned value may be null in some cases; including case where parser implementation does not want to exposed raw source to caller. In cases where input has been decorated, object returned here is the decorated version; this allows some level of interaction between users of parser and decorator object.

      In general use of this accessor should be considered as "last effort", i.e. only used if no other mechanism is applicable.

      Overrides:
        `getInputSource` in class `JsonParser`

    - #### requiresCustomCodec

          public boolean requiresCustomCodec()

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Method that can be called to determine if a custom `ObjectCodec` is needed for binding data parsed using `JsonParser` constructed by this factory (which typically also implies the same for serialization with `JsonGenerator`).
      Overrides:
        `requiresCustomCodec` in class `JsonParser`
      Returns:
        True if custom codec is needed with parsers and generators created by this factory; false if a general `ObjectCodec` is enough

    - #### close

          public void close()
                     throws IOException

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Closes the parser so that no further iteration or data access can be made; will also close the underlying input source if parser either owns the input source, or feature `JsonParser.Feature.AUTO_CLOSE_SOURCE` is enabled. Whether parser owns the input source depends on factory method that was used to construct instance (so check `JsonFactory` for details, but the general idea is that if caller passes in closable resource (such as `InputStream` or `Reader`) parser does NOT own the source; but if it passes a reference (such as `File` or `URL` and creates stream or reader it does own them.
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `Closeable`
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `AutoCloseable`
      Specified by:
        `close` in class `JsonParser`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### isClosed

          public boolean isClosed()

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Method that can be called to determine whether this parser is closed or not. If it is closed, no new tokens can be retrieved by calling `JsonParser.nextToken()` (and the underlying stream may be closed). Closing may be due to an explicit call to `JsonParser.close()` or because parser has encountered end of input.
      Specified by:
        `isClosed` in class `JsonParser`

    - #### getCurrentToken

          public JsonToken getCurrentToken()

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Accessor to find which token parser currently points to, if any; null will be returned if none. If return value is non-null, data associated with the token is available via other accessor methods.
      Specified by:
        `getCurrentToken` in class `JsonParser`
      Returns:
        Type of the token this parser currently points to, if any: null before any tokens have been read, and after end-of-input has been encountered, as well as if the current token has been explicitly cleared.

    - #### getCurrentTokenId

          public int getCurrentTokenId()

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Method similar to `JsonParser.getCurrentToken()` but that returns an `int` instead of `JsonToken` (enum value).

      Use of int directly is typically more efficient on switch statements, so this method may be useful when building low-overhead codecs. Note, however, that effect may not be big enough to matter: make sure to profile performance before deciding to use this method.

      Specified by:
        `getCurrentTokenId` in class `JsonParser`
      Returns:
        `int` matching one of constants from `JsonTokenId`.

    - #### hasCurrentToken

          public boolean hasCurrentToken()

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Method for checking whether parser currently points to a token (and data for that token is available). Equivalent to check for `parser.getCurrentToken() != null`.
      Specified by:
        `hasCurrentToken` in class `JsonParser`
      Returns:
        True if the parser just returned a valid token via `JsonParser.nextToken()`; false otherwise (parser was just constructed, encountered end-of-input and returned null from `JsonParser.nextToken()`, or the token has been consumed)

    - #### getCurrentName

          public String getCurrentName()
                                throws IOException,
                                       JsonParseException

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Method that can be called to get the name associated with the current token: for `JsonToken.FIELD_NAME`s it will be the same as what `JsonParser.getText()` returns; for field values it will be preceding field name; and for others (array values, root-level values) null.
      Specified by:
        `getCurrentName` in class `JsonParser`
      Throws:
        `IOException`
        `JsonParseException`

    - #### getCurrentLocation

          public JsonLocation getCurrentLocation()

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Method that returns location of the last processed character; usually for error reporting purposes.
      Specified by:
        `getCurrentLocation` in class `JsonParser`

    - #### getParsingContext

          public JsonStreamContext getParsingContext()

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Method that can be used to access current parsing context reader is in. There are 3 different types: root, array and object contexts, with slightly different available information. Contexts are hierarchically nested, and can be used for example for figuring out part of the input document that correspond to specific array or object (for highlighting purposes, or error reporting). Contexts can also be used for simple xpath-like matching of input, if so desired.
      Specified by:
        `getParsingContext` in class `JsonParser`

    - #### clearCurrentToken

          public void clearCurrentToken()

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Method called to "consume" the current token by effectively removing it so that `JsonParser.hasCurrentToken()` returns false, and `JsonParser.getCurrentToken()` null). Cleared token value can still be accessed by calling `JsonParser.getLastClearedToken()` (if absolutely needed), but usually isn't.

      Method was added to be used by the optional data binder, since it has to be able to consume last token used for binding (so that it will not be used again).

      Specified by:
        `clearCurrentToken` in class `JsonParser`

    - #### getLastClearedToken

          public JsonToken getLastClearedToken()

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Method that can be called to get the last token that was cleared using `JsonParser.clearCurrentToken()`. This is not necessarily the latest token read. Will return null if no tokens have been cleared, or if parser has been closed.
      Specified by:
        `getLastClearedToken` in class `JsonParser`

    - #### overrideCurrentName

          public void overrideCurrentName(String name)

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Method that can be used to change what is considered to be the current (field) name. May be needed to support non-JSON data formats or unusual binding conventions; not needed for typical processing.

      Note that use of this method should only be done as sort of last resort, as it is a work-around for regular operation.

      Specified by:
        `overrideCurrentName` in class `JsonParser`
      Parameters:
        `name` - Name to use as the current name; may be null.

    - #### getText

          public String getText()
                         throws IOException,
                                JsonParseException

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Method for accessing textual representation of the current token; if no current token (before first call to `JsonParser.nextToken()`, or after encountering end-of-input), returns null. Method can be called for any token type.
      Specified by:
        `getText` in class `JsonParser`
      Throws:
        `IOException`
        `JsonParseException`

    - #### hasTextCharacters

          public boolean hasTextCharacters()

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Method that can be used to determine whether calling of `JsonParser.getTextCharacters()` would be the most efficient way to access textual content for the event parser currently points to.

      Default implementation simply returns false since only actual implementation class has knowledge of its internal buffering state. Implementations are strongly encouraged to properly override this method, to allow efficient copying of content by other code.

      Specified by:
        `hasTextCharacters` in class `JsonParser`
      Returns:
        True if parser currently has character array that can be efficiently returned via `JsonParser.getTextCharacters()`; false means that it may or may not exist

    - #### getTextCharacters

          public char[] getTextCharacters()
                                   throws IOException,
                                          JsonParseException

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Method similar to `JsonParser.getText()`, but that will return underlying (unmodifiable) character array that contains textual value, instead of constructing a String object to contain this information. Note, however, that:
      - Textual contents are not guaranteed to start at index 0 (rather, call `JsonParser.getTextOffset()`) to know the actual offset
      - Length of textual contents may be less than the length of returned buffer: call `JsonParser.getTextLength()` for actual length of returned content.

      Note that caller MUST NOT modify the returned character array in any way -- doing so may corrupt current parser state and render parser instance useless.

      The only reason to call this method (over `JsonParser.getText()`) is to avoid construction of a String object (which will make a copy of contents).

      Specified by:
        `getTextCharacters` in class `JsonParser`
      Throws:
        `IOException`
        `JsonParseException`

    - #### getTextLength

          public int getTextLength()
                            throws IOException,
                                   JsonParseException

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Accessor used with `JsonParser.getTextCharacters()`, to know length of String stored in returned buffer.
      Specified by:
        `getTextLength` in class `JsonParser`
      Returns:
        Number of characters within buffer returned by `JsonParser.getTextCharacters()` that are part of textual content of the current token.
      Throws:
        `IOException`
        `JsonParseException`

    - #### getTextOffset

          public int getTextOffset()
                            throws IOException,
                                   JsonParseException

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Method that can be used to read (and consume -- results may not be accessible using other methods after the call) base64-encoded binary data included in the current textual JSON value. It works similar to getting String value via `JsonParser.getText()` and decoding result (except for decoding part), but should be significantly more performant.

      Note that non-decoded textual contents of the current token are not guaranteed to be accessible after this method is called. Current implementation, for example, clears up textual content during decoding. Decoded binary content, however, will be retained until parser is advanced to the next event.

      Specified by:
        `getBinaryValue` in class `JsonParser`
      Parameters:
        `b64variant` - Expected variant of base64 encoded content (see `Base64Variants` for definitions of "standard" variants).

        `readBinaryValue` in class `JsonParser`
      Parameters:
        `b64variant` - base64 variant to use

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Main iteration method, which will advance stream enough to determine type of the next token, if any. If none remaining (stream has no content other than possible white space before ending), null will be returned.
      Specified by:
        `nextToken` in class `JsonParser`
      Returns:
        Next token from the stream, if any found, or null to indicate end-of-input

        `JsonParseException`

    - #### nextValue

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Iteration method that will advance stream enough to determine type of the next token that is a value type (including JSON Array and Object start/end markers). Or put another way, nextToken() will be called once, and if `JsonToken.FIELD_NAME` is returned, another time to get the value for the field. Method is most useful for iterating over value entries of JSON objects; field name will still be available by calling `JsonParser.getCurrentName()` when parser points to the value.
      Specified by:
        `nextValue` in class `JsonParser`
      Returns:
        Next non-field-name token from the stream, if any found, or null to indicate end-of-input (or, for non-blocking parsers, `JsonToken.NOT_AVAILABLE` if no tokens were available yet)

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Method that will skip all child tokens of an array or object token that the parser currently points to, iff stream points to `JsonToken.START_OBJECT` or `JsonToken.START_ARRAY`. If not, it will do nothing. After skipping, stream will point to matching `JsonToken.END_OBJECT` or `JsonToken.END_ARRAY` (possibly skipping nested pairs of START/END OBJECT/ARRAY tokens as well as value tokens). The idea is that after calling this method, application will call `JsonParser.nextToken()` to point to the next available token, if any.
      Specified by:
        `skipChildren` in class `JsonParser`

    - #### canReadObjectId

          public boolean canReadObjectId()

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Introspection method that may be called to see if the underlying data format supports some kind of Object Ids natively (many do not; for example, JSON doesn't).

      Default implementation returns true; overridden by data formats that do support native Object Ids. Caller is expected to either use a non-native notation (explicit property or such), or fail, in case it can not use native object ids.

      Overrides:
        `canReadObjectId` in class `JsonParser`

    - #### canReadTypeId

          public boolean canReadTypeId()

    - #### getObjectId

          public Object getObjectId()
                             throws IOException,
                                    JsonGenerationException

      Description copied from class: `JsonParser`
      Method that can be called to check whether current token (one that was just read) has an associated Object id, and if so, return it. Note that while typically caller should check with `JsonParser.canReadObjectId()` first, it is not illegal to call this method even if that method returns true; but if so, it will return null. This may be used to simplify calling code.

      Default implementation will simply return null.

      Overrides:
        `getObjectId` in class `JsonParser`
      Throws:
        `IOException`
        `JsonGenerationException`
