Flat Buffers - 巢狀表格

概述

在這裡，我們將瞭解如何在 Flat Buffers 中建立巢狀表格。它相當於一個巢狀的Java類。

繼續我們從Flat Buffers - 字串章節開始的theater示例，以下是我們需要使用的語法，以指示 FlatBuffers 我們將建立一個巢狀表格：

theater.fbs

namespace com.tutorialspoint.theater;

table Theater {
   owner: TheaterOwner;
}

table TheaterOwner {
	name:string;
	address:string;
}
root_type Theater;

現在我們的Theater表格包含了一個巢狀表格，即關於劇院所有者的資訊。

從 fbs 檔案建立 Java 類

要使用 FlatBuffers，我們現在必須使用flatc二進位制檔案從這個“.fbs”檔案建立所需的類。讓我們看看如何操作：

flatc --java theater.fbs

這將在當前目錄的com > tutorialspoint > theater資料夾中建立 Theater 和 TheaterOwner 類。我們將在我們的應用程式中使用此類，類似於Flat Buffers - 模式章節中所做的那樣。

使用從 fbs 檔案建立的 Java 類

TheaterWriter.java

package com.tutorialspoint.theater;

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;

import com.google.flatbuffers.FlatBufferBuilder;

public class TheaterWriter {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
      // create a flat buffer builder
      // it will be used to create Theater FlatBuffer
      FlatBufferBuilder builder = new FlatBufferBuilder(1024);
      
      // create offset for TheaterOwner
      int ownerName = builder.createString("Mery");
      int ownerAddress = builder.createString("Avenue 4");
      int owner = TheaterOwner.createTheaterOwner(builder, ownerName, ownerAddress);
      
      // create theater FlatBuffers using startTheater() method
      Theater.startTheater(builder);
      // add details to the Theater FlatBuffer
      Theater.addOwner(builder, owner);      
      
      // mark end of data being entered in Greet FlatBuffer
      int theater = Theater.endTheater(builder);

      // finish the builder
      builder.finish(theater);

      // get the bytes to be stored
      byte[] data = builder.sizedByteArray();

      String filename = "theater_flatbuffers_output";
      System.out.println("Saving theater to file: " + filename);
      // write the builder content to the file named theater_flatbuffers_output
      try(FileOutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(filename)){
         output.write(data);
      }
      System.out.println("Saved theater with following data to disk: \n" + theater);
   }
}	

接下來，我們將有一個讀取器來讀取theater資訊：

TheaterReader.java

package com.tutorialspoint.theater;

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.ByteBuffer;

public class TheaterReader {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {

      String filename = "theater_flatbuffers_output";
      System.out.println("Reading from file " + filename);
      try(FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream(filename)) {
         // get the serialized data
         byte[] data = input.readAllBytes();
         ByteBuffer buf = ByteBuffer.wrap(data);
         // read the root object in serialized data
         Theater theater = Theater.getRootAsTheater(buf);
         // print theater values 
         System.out.println("Owner Details: ");
         TheaterOwner owner = theater.owner();
         System.out.println("Name: " + owner.name());
         System.out.println("Address: " + owner.address());        
      }
   }
}

編譯專案

現在我們已經設定了讀取器和寫入器，讓我們編譯專案。

mvn clean install

序列化 Java 物件

現在，編譯後，讓我們先執行寫入器：

java -cp .\target\flatbuffers-tutorial-1.0.jar com.tutorialspoint.theater.TheaterWriter

Saving theater to file: theater_flatbuffers_output
Saved theater with following data to disk:
56

反序列化已序列化的物件

現在，讓我們執行讀取器以從同一檔案讀取：

java -cp .\target\flatbuffers-tutorial-1.0.jar com.tutorialspoint.theater.TheaterReader

Reading from file theater_flatbuffers_output
Owner Details:
Name: Mery
Address: Avenue 4

因此，正如我們所看到的，我們能夠透過將二進位制資料反序列化為Theater物件來讀取已序列化的巢狀表格/物件。
