MessageBufferPacker 2.1.1 API

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Closeable , java.io.Flushable , java.lang.AutoCloseable
```
public class MessageBufferPacker
extends MessagePacker
                    
```
MessagePacker that is useful to produce byte array output.
This class allocates a new buffer instead of resizing the buffer when data doesn't fit in the initial capacity. This is faster than ByteArrayOutputStream especially when size of written bytes is large because resizing a buffer usually needs to copy contents of the buffer.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`MessageBufferOutput`	`reset(MessageBufferOutput out)`	Replaces underlying output.
`void`	`clear()`	Clears the written data.
`Array<byte>`	`toByteArray()`	Gets copy of the written data as a byte array.
`MessageBuffer`	`toMessageBuffer()`	Gets the written data as a MessageBuffer.
`List<MessageBuffer>`	`toBufferList()`	Returns the written data as a list of MessageBuffer.
`int`	`getBufferSize()`

- Method Detail
  - reset
```
 MessageBufferOutput reset(MessageBufferOutput out)
```
    Replaces underlying output.
    This method flushes current internal buffer to the output, swaps it with the new given output, then returnsthe old output.
    This method doesn't close the old output.
    
    Parameters:
    
    out - new output
  - clear
```
 void clear()
```
    Clears the written data.
  - toByteArray
```
 Array<byte> toByteArray()
```
    Gets copy of the written data as a byte array.
    If your application needs better performance and smaller memory consumption, you may prefer toMessageBuffer or toBufferList to avoid copying.
  - toMessageBuffer
```
 MessageBuffer toMessageBuffer()
```
    Gets the written data as a MessageBuffer.
    Unlike toByteArray, this method omits copy of the contents if size of the written data is smallerthan a single buffer capacity.
  - toBufferList
```
 List<MessageBuffer> toBufferList()
```
    Returns the written data as a list of MessageBuffer.
    Unlike toByteArray or toMessageBuffer, this is the fastest method that doesn'tcopy contents in any cases.
  - getBufferSize
```
 int getBufferSize()
```
