Method Detail

convertToCog

public static Cog convertToCog(java.lang.Object pojo)

Convert from a regular Java object to a Cog. If the object is a data structure, converts components as well. If the object is already a Cog, just returns it.

Parameters:

pojo - Object to convert.

Returns:

Cog representation of input object's state

convertToObject

public static java.lang.Object convertToObject(Cog node)

Convert from a Cog to a regular Java object. The Cog must be associated with a CogSchema so that it knows what classes to generate.

Parameters:

node - Cog to convert.

Returns:

Object derived from input state.

parseParameterizedTypeName

public static java.lang.String[] parseParameterizedTypeName(java.lang.String typeName)

Converts a parameterized type name to an array of Strings. Each item in the array is a base type. The format is e.g. "SortedList-of-Color" and can be extended indefinitely, e.g. "SortedNaming-of-List-of-Color".

Parameters:

typeName - parameterized type name

Returns:

String array containing the individual base types

instantiateCoggable

public static Coggable instantiateCoggable(java.lang.Class classy,
                           Cog cog)

Instantiates a new Coggable object from he given class and state.

Parameters:

cog -

Returns:

stringToBytes

public static byte[] stringToBytes(java.lang.String byteString)

bytesToString

public static java.lang.String bytesToString(byte[] bytes)

isIndexPart

public static boolean isIndexPart(java.lang.String part)

Returns true if the path part is an index identifier like [1].

Parameters:

part -

Returns:

parseIndexFrom

public static int parseIndexFrom(java.lang.String part)

Returns the integer index parsed from an index path part like [1].

Parameters:

part -

Returns:
