Package step.encoding

Provides the default STEP encoding strategies and meta-data records.

Description

Interface Summary

DecodeContext	An entity that maintains the incoming stream of data to be decoded.
EncodeContext	An entity that maintains the outgoing stream of data being encoded.
MetaEvent	An event that signals a change in the encoding context.

Class Summary

ArrayEncoder	An encoder for STEP array objects.
CacheStrategy	Use a simple caching strategy to replace values with a reference to a cache slot.
ConstantStrategy	Assume values are mostly the same.
CreepIntEncoder	Encoder for STEP int types that uses a variable size encoding.
DataEncoder	An encoder for STEP data objects.
DeltaIntStrategy	Assume that the next (integer) value is relatively close to the last, and only transmit on the difference from the last value.
Encoder	An agent for encoding/decoding objects to/from the STEP binary format.
EncoderEvent	The root of events that are applied to a specific encoder.
EncoderFactory
EncoderMessageEvent	An event that dispatches an arbitrary text message to an encoder.
EncoderMessageEvent.Factory
IdentifierStrategy	Assume that values derive from a relatively small, fixed distribution.
IntEncoder	An encoder for STEP int objects that uses a specific number of bytes.
IrregularValueEvent	An event that signals that the next value in the data stream is irregular.
IrregularValueEvent.Factory
MetaRecord	A record that contains another record with interleaved meta-data.
MetaRecord.Factory
OffsetIntStrategy	Instead of transmitting the absolute (integer) value, transmit the offset from a fixed base value.
RecordEncoder	An encoder for STEP record objects.
RegularValueStrategy	Assume that values appear in some regular pattern.
Strategy	An encoder that exploits patterns or characteristics of a data sequence.
StrideIntStrategy	Assume that the (integer) values increase or decrease with a regular increment.
StringEncoder	An encoder for STEP string objects.
WindowIntStrategy	Assume (integer) values are in the neighborhood of a base value, and transmit the offset from the base.
