/**
 * {@link XMLStreamReader} extended for reading binary data.
 *
 * 

* Some producer of infoset (in particular, such as FastInfoset, * XOP decoder), uses a native format that enables efficient * treatment of binary data. For ordinary infoset consumer * (that just uses {@link XMLStreamReader}, those binary data * will just look like base64-encoded string, but this interface * allows consumers of such infoset to access this raw binary data. * Such infoset producer may choose to implement this additoinal * interface, to expose this functionality. * *

* Consumers that are capable of using this interface can query * {@link XMLStreamReader} if it supports this by simply downcasting * it to this interface like this: * *

 * XMLStreamReader reader = ...;
 * if( reader instanceof XMLStreamReaderEx ) {
 *   // this reader supports binary data exchange
 *   ...
 * } else {
 *   // noop
 *   ...
 * }
 * 
* *

* Also note that it is also allowed for the infoset producer * to implement this interface in such a way that {@link #getPCDATA()} * always delegate to {@link #getText()}, although it's not desirable. * *

* This interface is a private contract between such producers * and consumers to allow them to exchange binary data without * converting it to base64. * * @see XMLStreamWriterEx * @author Kohsuke Kawaguchi * @author Paul Sandoz */ public interface XMLStreamReaderEx extends XMLStreamReader { ///** // * Works like {@link XMLStreamReader#getText()} // * but returns text as {@link DataSource}. // * // *

// * This method can be invoked whenever {@link XMLStreamReader#getText()} // * can be invoked. Invoking this method means the caller is assuming // * that the text is (conceptually) base64-encoded binary data. // * // *

// * This abstraction is necessary to treat XOP as infoset encoding. // * That is, you can either access the XOP-attached binary through // * {@link XMLStreamReader#getText()} (in which case you'll see the // * base64 encoded string), or you can access it as a binary data // * directly by using this method. // * // *

// * Note that even if you are reading from non XOP-aware {@link XMLStreamReader}, // * this method must be still supported; if the reader is pointing // * to a text, this method is responsible for decoding base64 and // * producing a {@link DataHandler} with "application/octet-stream" // * as the content type. // * // * @return // * always non-null valid object. // * Invocations of this method may return the same object as long // * as the {@link XMLStreamReader#next()} method is not used, // * but otherwise {@link DataSource} object returned from this method // * is considered to be owned by the client, and therefore it shouldn't // * be reused by the implementation of this method. // * // *

// * The returned {@link DataSource} is read-only, and the caller // * must not invoke {@link DataSource#getOutputStream()}. // * // * @throws IllegalStateException // * if the parser is not pointing at characters infoset item. // * @throws XMLStreamException // * if the parser points to text but text is not base64-encoded text, // * or if some other parsing error occurs (such as if the {@code } // * points to a non-existing attachment.) // * // *

// * It is also OK for this method to return successfully, only to fail // * during an {@link InputStream} is read from {@link DataSource}. // */ //DataSource getTextAsDataHandler() throws XMLStreamException; ///** // * Works like {@link XMLStreamReader#getText()} // * but returns text as {@link byte[]}. // * // *

// * The contract of this method is mostly the same as // * {@link #getTextAsDataHandler()}, except that this // * method returns the binary datas as an exact-size byte[]. // * // *

// * This method is also not capable of reporting the content type // * of this binary data, even if it is available to the parser. // * // * @see #getTextAsDataHandler() // */ //byte[] getTextAsByteArray() throws XMLStreamException; /** * Works like {@link #getText()} * but hides the actual data representation. * * @return * The {@link CharSequence} that represents the * character infoset items at the current position. * *

* The {@link CharSequence} is normally a {@link String}, * but can be any other {@link CharSequence} implementation. * For binary data, however, use of {@link Base64Data} is * recommended (so that the consumer interested in seeing it * as binary data may take advantage of mor efficient * data representation.) * *

* The object returned from this method belongs to the parser, * and its content is guaranteed to be the same only until * the {@link #next()} method is invoked. * * @throws IllegalStateException * if the parser is not pointing at characters infoset item. * * TODO: * fix the dependency to JAXB internal class. */ CharSequence getPCDATA() throws XMLStreamException; /** * {@inheritDoc} */ NamespaceContextEx getNamespaceContext(); /** * Works like {@link #getElementText()} but trims the leading * and trailing whitespace. * *

* The parser can often do this more efficiently than * {@code getElementText().trim()}. * * @see #getElementText() */ String getElementTextTrim() throws XMLStreamException; }
