CodedInputStream

java.lang.Object
- com.google.protobuf.CodedInputStream

```
public abstract class CodedInputStream
extends java.lang.Object
```
Reads and decodes protocol message fields.
This class contains two kinds of methods: methods that read specific protocol message constructs and field types (e.g. readTag() and readInt32()) and methods that read low-level values (e.g. readRawVarint32() and readRawBytes(int)). If you are reading encoded protocol messages, you should use the former methods, but if you are reading some other format of your own design, use the latter.

  - newInstance
```
public static CodedInputStream newInstance(java.lang.Iterable<java.nio.ByteBuffer> input)
```
    Create a new CodedInputStream wrapping the given Iterable <ByteBuffer>.
  - newInstance
```
public static CodedInputStream newInstance(byte[] buf)
```
    Create a new CodedInputStream wrapping the given byte array.
  - newInstance
```
public static CodedInputStream newInstance(byte[] buf,
                                           int off,
                                           int len)
```
    Create a new CodedInputStream wrapping the given byte array slice.
  - newInstance
```
public static CodedInputStream newInstance(java.nio.ByteBuffer buf)
```
    Create a new CodedInputStream wrapping the given ByteBuffer. The data starting from the ByteBuffer's current position to its limit will be read. The returned CodedInputStream may or may not share the underlying data in the ByteBuffer, therefore the ByteBuffer cannot be changed while the CodedInputStream is in use. Note that the ByteBuffer's position won't be changed by this function. Concurrent calls with the same ByteBuffer object are safe if no other thread is trying to alter the ByteBuffer's status.
  - readTag
```
public abstract int readTag()
                     throws java.io.IOException
```
    Attempt to read a field tag, returning zero if we have reached EOF. Protocol message parsers use this to read tags, since a protocol message may legally end wherever a tag occurs, and zero is not a valid tag number.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
  - checkLastTagWas
```
public abstract void checkLastTagWas(int value)
                              throws InvalidProtocolBufferException
```
    Verifies that the last call to readTag() returned the given tag value. This is used to verify that a nested group ended with the correct end tag.
    
    Throws:
    
    InvalidProtocolBufferException - value does not match the last tag.
  - getLastTag
```
public abstract int getLastTag()
```
  - skipField
```
public abstract boolean skipField(int tag)
                           throws java.io.IOException
```
    Reads and discards a single field, given its tag value.
    
    Returns:
    
    false if the tag is an endgroup tag, in which case nothing is skipped. Otherwise, returns true.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
  - skipField

                                       throws java.io.IOException
```
    Deprecated. use UnknownFieldSet or UnknownFieldSetLite to skip to an output stream.
    
    Reads a single field and writes it to output in wire format, given its tag value.
    
    Returns:
    
    false if the tag is an endgroup tag, in which case nothing is skipped. Otherwise, returns true.

  - enableAliasing
```
public abstract void enableAliasing(boolean enabled)
```
    Enables ByteString aliasing of the underlying buffer, trading off on buffer pinning for data copies. Only valid for buffer-backed streams.
  - setRecursionLimit
```
public final int setRecursionLimit(int limit)
```
    Set the maximum message recursion depth. In order to prevent malicious messages from causing stack overflows, CodedInputStream limits how deeply messages may be nested. The default limit is 100.
    
    Returns:
    
    the old limit.
  - setSizeLimit
```
public final int setSizeLimit(int limit)
```
    Only valid for InputStream-backed streams.
    Set the maximum message size. In order to prevent malicious messages from exhausting memory or causing integer overflows, CodedInputStream limits how large a message may be. The default limit is Integer.MAX_INT. You should set this limit as small as you can without harming your app's functionality. Note that size limits only apply when reading from an InputStream, not when constructed around a raw byte array.
    If you want to read several messages from a single CodedInputStream, you could call resetSizeCounter() after each one to avoid hitting the size limit.
    
    Returns:
    
    the old limit.
  - resetSizeCounter
```
public abstract void resetSizeCounter()
```
    Resets the current size counter to zero (see setSizeLimit(int)). Only valid for InputStream-backed streams.
  - pushLimit
```
public abstract int pushLimit(int byteLimit)
                       throws InvalidProtocolBufferException
```
    Sets currentLimit to (current position) + byteLimit. This is called when descending into a length-delimited embedded message.
    Note that pushLimit() does NOT affect how many bytes the CodedInputStream reads from an underlying InputStream when refreshing its buffer. If you need to prevent reading past a certain point in the underlying InputStream (e.g. because you expect it to contain more data after the end of the message which you need to handle differently) then you must place a wrapper around your InputStream which limits the amount of data that can be read from it.
    
    Returns:
    
    the old limit.
    
    Throws:
    
    InvalidProtocolBufferException
  - popLimit
```
public abstract void popLimit(int oldLimit)
```
    Discards the current limit, returning to the previous limit.
    
    Parameters:
    
    oldLimit - The old limit, as returned by pushLimit.
  - getBytesUntilLimit
```
public abstract int getBytesUntilLimit()
```
    Returns the number of bytes to be read before the current limit. If no limit is set, returns -1.
  - isAtEnd
```
public abstract boolean isAtEnd()
                         throws java.io.IOException
```
    Returns true if the stream has reached the end of the input. This is the case if either the end of the underlying input source has been reached or if the stream has reached a limit created using pushLimit(int). This function may get blocked when using StreamDecoder as it invokes StreamDecoder#tryRefillBuffer(int) in this function which will try to read bytes from input.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
  - getTotalBytesRead
```
public abstract int getTotalBytesRead()
```
    The total bytes read up to the current position. Calling resetSizeCounter() resets this value to zero.
  - readRawByte
```
public abstract byte readRawByte()
                          throws java.io.IOException
```
    Read one byte from the input.
    
    Throws:
    
    InvalidProtocolBufferException - The end of the stream or the current limit was reached.
    
    java.io.IOException
  - readRawBytes
```
public abstract byte[] readRawBytes(int size)
                             throws java.io.IOException
```
    Read a fixed size of bytes from the input.
    
    Throws:
    
    InvalidProtocolBufferException - The end of the stream or the current limit was reached.
    
    java.io.IOException
  - skipRawBytes
```
public abstract void skipRawBytes(int size)
                           throws java.io.IOException
```
    Reads and discards size bytes.
    
    Throws:
    
    InvalidProtocolBufferException - The end of the stream or the current limit was reached.
    
    java.io.IOException
  - decodeZigZag32
```
public static int decodeZigZag32(int n)
```
    Decode a ZigZag-encoded 32-bit value. ZigZag encodes signed integers into values that can be efficiently encoded with varint. (Otherwise, negative values must be sign-extended to 64 bits to be varint encoded, thus always taking 10 bytes on the wire.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    n - An unsigned 32-bit integer, stored in a signed int because Java has no explicit unsigned support.
    
    Returns:
    
    A signed 32-bit integer.

    Decode a ZigZag-encoded 64-bit value. ZigZag encodes signed integers into values that can be efficiently encoded with varint. (Otherwise, negative values must be sign-extended to 64 bits to be varint encoded, thus always taking 10 bytes on the wire.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    n - An unsigned 64-bit integer, stored in a signed int because Java has no explicit unsigned support.
    
    Returns:
    
    A signed 64-bit integer.
  - readRawVarint32
```
public static int readRawVarint32(int firstByte,
                                  java.io.InputStream input)
                           throws java.io.IOException
```
    Like readRawVarint32(InputStream), but expects that the caller has already read one byte. This allows the caller to determine if EOF has been reached before attempting to read.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
