Class MessageParser<T>
A parser for a specific message type.
Inherited Members
Namespace: Google.Protobuf
Assembly: Google.Protobuf.dll
Syntax
public sealed class MessageParser<T> : MessageParser where T : IMessage<T>Type Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| T | The type of message to be parsed. |
Remarks
This delegates most behavior to the MergeFrom(CodedInputStream) implementation within the original type, but provides convenient overloads to parse from a variety of sources.
Most applications will never need to create their own instances of this type;
instead, use the static Parser property of a generated message type to obtain a
parser for that type.
Constructors
MessageParser(Func<T>)
Creates a new parser.
Declaration
public MessageParser(Func<T> factory)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| System.Func<T> | factory | Function to invoke when a new, empty message is required. |
Remarks
The factory method is effectively an optimization over using a generic constraint to require a parameterless constructor: delegates are significantly faster to execute.
Methods
ParseDelimitedFrom(Stream)
Parses a length-delimited message from the given stream.
Declaration
public T ParseDelimitedFrom(Stream input)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| System.IO.Stream | input | The stream to parse. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| T | The parsed message. |
Remarks
The stream is expected to contain a length and then the data. Only the amount of data specified by the length will be consumed.
ParseFrom(ByteString)
Parses a message from the given byte string.
Declaration
public T ParseFrom(ByteString data)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ByteString | data | The data to parse. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| T | The parsed message. |
ParseFrom(CodedInputStream)
Parses a message from the given coded input stream.
Declaration
public T ParseFrom(CodedInputStream input)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CodedInputStream | input | The stream to parse. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| T | The parsed message. |
ParseFrom(Byte[])
Parses a message from a byte array.
Declaration
public T ParseFrom(byte[] data)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| System.Byte[] | data | The byte array containing the message. Must not be null. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| T | The newly parsed message. |
ParseFrom(Byte[], Int32, Int32)
Parses a message from a byte array slice.
Declaration
public T ParseFrom(byte[] data, int offset, int length)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| System.Byte[] | data | The byte array containing the message. Must not be null. |
| System.Int32 | offset | The offset of the slice to parse. |
| System.Int32 | length | The length of the slice to parse. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| T | The newly parsed message. |
ParseFrom(Stream)
Parses a message from the given stream.
Declaration
public T ParseFrom(Stream input)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| System.IO.Stream | input | The stream to parse. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| T | The parsed message. |
ParseJson(String)
Parses a message from the given JSON.
Declaration
public T ParseJson(string json)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| System.String | json | The JSON to parse. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| T | The parsed message. |
Exceptions
| Type | Condition |
|---|---|
| InvalidJsonException | The JSON does not comply with RFC 7159 |
| InvalidProtocolBufferException | The JSON does not represent a Protocol Buffers message correctly |
WithDiscardUnknownFields(Boolean)
Creates a new message parser which optionally discards unknown fields when parsing.
Declaration
public MessageParser<T> WithDiscardUnknownFields(bool discardUnknownFields)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| System.Boolean | discardUnknownFields | Whether or not to discard unknown fields when parsing. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
