Class CommonSettings<F extends Format>
- Type Parameters:
F
- the format supported by this settings class.
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable
- Direct Known Subclasses:
CommonParserSettings
,CommonWriterSettings
AbstractParser
) and writers (AbstractWriter
)
By default, all parsers and writers work with, at least, the following configuration options:
- format (each file format provides its default): the input/output format of a given file
- nullValue (defaults to null):
when reading, if the parser does not read any character from the input, the nullValue is used instead of an empty string
when writing, if the writer has a null object to write to the output, the nullValue is used instead of an empty string
- maxCharsPerColumn (defaults to 4096): The maximum number of characters allowed for any given value being written/read.
You need this to avoid OutOfMemoryErrors in case a file does not have a valid format. In such cases the parser might just keep reading from the input until its end or the memory is exhausted. This sets a limit which avoids unwanted JVM crashes.
- maxColumns (defaults to 512): a hard limit on how many columns a record can have. You need this to avoid OutOfMemory errors in case of inputs that might be inconsistent with the format you are dealing with
- skipEmptyLines (defaults to true):
when reading, if the parser reads a line that is empty, it will be skipped.
when writing, if the writer receives an empty or null row to write to the output, it will be ignored
- ignoreTrailingWhitespaces (defaults to true): removes trailing whitespaces from values being read/written
- ignoreLeadingWhitespaces (defaults to true): removes leading whitespaces from values being read/written
- headers (defaults to null): the field names in the input/output, in the sequence they occur.
when reading, the given header names will be used to refer to each column irrespective of whether or not the input contains a header row
when writing, the given header names will be used to refer to each column and can be used for writing the header row
- field selection (defaults to none): a selection of fields for reading and writing. Fields can be selected by their name or their position.
when reading, the selected fields only will be parsed and the remaining fields will be discarded.
when writing, the selected fields only will be written and the remaining fields will be discarded
