Class AlgebraStringRepresentationOutputCodec<E>

java.lang.Object

de.up.ling.irtg.codec.OutputCodec<E>

de.up.ling.irtg.codec.AlgebraStringRepresentationOutputCodec<E>

public class AlgebraStringRepresentationOutputCodec<E>
extends OutputCodec<E>

A codec that uses an algebra's Algebra.representAsString(java.lang.Object) method to encode an object as a string. For most algebras, this has the same behavior as the ToStringOutputCodec; but a few algebras (e.g. StringAlgebra) overwrite this method.

Because the codec requires an algebra object to be instantiated, we do not add it to the list of registered output codecs, and it will not be returned by OutputCodec.getAllOutputCodecs() and related methods.

Specified by:

write in class OutputCodec<E>

Throws:

IOException - if something went wrong with I/O

UnsupportedOperationException - if a problem occurred in computing the representation of the object
