public MessageSerializer()

Method Details

withProtocolVersion

public abstract MessageSerializer withProtocolVersion(int protocolVersion)

Create a new serializer with a specific protocol version. Mainly used to disable segwit when parsing transactions.

getProtocolVersion

public abstract int getProtocolVersion()

Get the protocol version of this serializer.

deserialize

public abstract Message deserialize(ByteBuffer in)
                             throws ProtocolException,
IOException,
UnsupportedOperationException

Reads a message from the given ByteBuffer and returns it.

Throws:

ProtocolException

IOException

UnsupportedOperationException

deserializeHeader

public abstract BitcoinSerializer.BitcoinPacketHeader deserializeHeader(ByteBuffer in)
                                                                 throws ProtocolException,
IOException,
UnsupportedOperationException

Deserializes only the header in case packet meta data is needed before decoding the payload. This method assumes you have already called seekPastMagicBytes()

Throws:

ProtocolException

IOException

UnsupportedOperationException

deserializePayload

public abstract Message deserializePayload(BitcoinSerializer.BitcoinPacketHeader header,
 ByteBuffer in)
                                    throws ProtocolException,
BufferUnderflowException,
UnsupportedOperationException

Deserialize payload only. You must provide a header, typically obtained by calling BitcoinSerializer.deserializeHeader(java.nio.ByteBuffer).

Throws:

ProtocolException

BufferUnderflowException

UnsupportedOperationException

makeAddressV1Message

public abstract AddressV1Message makeAddressV1Message(ByteBuffer payload)
                                               throws ProtocolException,
UnsupportedOperationException

Make an address message from the payload. Extension point for alternative serialization format support.

Throws:

ProtocolException

UnsupportedOperationException

makeAddressV2Message

public abstract AddressV2Message makeAddressV2Message(ByteBuffer payload)
                                               throws ProtocolException,
UnsupportedOperationException

Make an address message from the payload. Extension point for alternative serialization format support.

Throws:

ProtocolException

UnsupportedOperationException

makeBlock

public abstract Block makeBlock(ByteBuffer payload)
                         throws ProtocolException,
UnsupportedOperationException

Make a block from the payload. Extension point for alternative serialization format support.

Throws:

ProtocolException

UnsupportedOperationException

makeBloomFilter

public abstract Message makeBloomFilter(ByteBuffer payload)
                                 throws ProtocolException,
UnsupportedOperationException

Make an filter message from the payload. Extension point for alternative serialization format support.

Throws:

ProtocolException

UnsupportedOperationException

makeFilteredBlock

public abstract FilteredBlock makeFilteredBlock(ByteBuffer payload)
                                         throws ProtocolException,
UnsupportedOperationException

Make a filtered block from the payload. Extension point for alternative serialization format support.

Throws:

ProtocolException

UnsupportedOperationException

makeInventoryMessage

public abstract InventoryMessage makeInventoryMessage(ByteBuffer payload)
                                               throws ProtocolException,
UnsupportedOperationException

Make an inventory message from the payload. Extension point for alternative serialization format support.

Throws:

ProtocolException

UnsupportedOperationException

makeTransaction

public abstract Transaction makeTransaction(ByteBuffer payload)
                                     throws ProtocolException,
UnsupportedOperationException

Make a transaction from the payload. Extension point for alternative serialization format support.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if this serializer/deserializer does not support deserialization. This can occur either because it's a dummy serializer (i.e. for messages with no network parameters), or because it does not support deserializing transactions.

ProtocolException

seekPastMagicBytes

public abstract void seekPastMagicBytes(ByteBuffer in)
                                 throws BufferUnderflowException

Throws:

BufferUnderflowException

serialize

public abstract void serialize(String name,
 byte[] message,
 OutputStream out)
                        throws IOException,
UnsupportedOperationException

Writes message to the output stream.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if this serializer/deserializer does not support serialization. This can occur either because it's a dummy serializer (i.e. for messages with no network parameters), or because it does not support serializing the given message.

IOException

serialize

public abstract void serialize(Message message,
 OutputStream out)
                        throws IOException,
UnsupportedOperationException

Writes message to the output stream.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if this serializer/deserializer does not support serialization. This can occur either because it's a dummy serializer (i.e. for messages with no network parameters), or because it does not support serializing the given message.
