All Known Implementing Classes:

BinaryData, TextData

public interface Data

The Data interface represents a payload for a WebScoket frame. It can hold either binary data or text data. For performance binary frames are a better choice as all text frames need to be encoded as UTF-8 from the native UCS2 format.

Method Summary

byte[]	getBinary() This returns the binary payload that is to be sent with a frame.
String	getText() This returns the text payload that is to be sent with a frame.

Method Detail

getBinary

byte[] getBinary()

This returns the binary payload that is to be sent with a frame. It contains no headers or other meta data. If the original data was text this converts it to UTF-8.

Returns:

the binary payload to be sent with the frame

getText

String getText()

This returns the text payload that is to be sent with a frame. It contains no header information or meta data. Caution should be used with this method as binary payloads will encode to garbage when decoded as UTF-8.

Returns:

the text payload to be sent with the frame
