Class AbstractWriter<S extends CommonWriterSettings<?>>

java.lang.Object
com.univocity.parsers.common.AbstractWriter<S>
Type Parameters:
S - The specific writer settings configuration class, which can potentially provide additional configuration options supported by the writer implementation.
Direct Known Subclasses:
CsvWriter, FixedWidthWriter, TsvWriter
public abstract class AbstractWriter<S extends CommonWriterSettings<?>> extends Object
The AbstractWriter class provides a common ground for all writers in univocity-parsers. It handles all settings defined by CommonWriterSettings, and delegates the writing algorithm implementation to its subclasses through the abstract method processRow(Object[]) The following (absolutely required) attributes are exposed to subclasses:
  • appender (WriterCharAppender): the character writer that appends characters from a given input into an internal buffer

  • Constructor Details

    • AbstractWriter

      public AbstractWriter(S settings)
      All writers must support, at the very least, the settings provided by CommonWriterSettings. The AbstractWriter requires its configuration to be properly initialized. Important: by not providing an instance of Writer to this constructor, only the operations that write to Strings are available.

    • processRow

      protected abstract void processRow(Object[] row)
      Format-specific implementation for writing a single record into the output. The AbstractWriter handles the initialization and processing of the output until it is ready to be written (generally, reorganizing it and passing it on to a RowWriterProcessor). It then delegates the record to the writer-specific implementation defined by processRow(Object[]). In general, an implementation of processRow(Object[]) will perform the following steps:
      • Iterate over each object in the given input and convert it to the expected String representation.
      • The conversion must happen using the provided appender object. The an individual value is processed, the appendValueToRow() method must be called. This will clear the accumulated value in appender and add it to the output row.
      • Format specific separators and other characters must be introduced to the output row using appendToRow(char)
      Once the processRow(Object[]) method returns, a row will be written to the output with the processed information, and a newline will be automatically written after the given contents, unless this is a FixedWidthWriter whose FixedWidthWriterSettings.getWriteLineSeparatorAfterRecord() evaluates to false. The newline character sequence will conform to what is specified in Format.getLineSeparator() This cycle repeats until the writing process is stopped by the user or an error happens. In case of errors, the unchecked exception TextWritingException will be thrown and all resources in use will be closed automatically. The exception should contain the cause and more information about the output state when the error happened.
      Parameters:
      row - the data to be written to the output in the expected format.

    • allowTrim

      protected final boolean allowTrim(int fieldIndex)
      Checks whether the writer can remove trailing/leading whitespaces from a value being written. Applies to headers where names can be conflicting if trimmed for example ' a ' and 'a' will become the same value if the spaces are removed)
      Parameters:
      fieldIndex - index of the field to be written.
      Returns:
      true if the value being written is not a header name, or it is a header name that won't conflict with another header if its surrounding whitespaces are trimmed.
