BinaryData Class

public final class BinaryData

BinaryData is a convenient data interchange class for use throughout the Azure SDK for Java. Put simply, BinaryData enables developers to bring data in from external sources, and read it back from Azure services, in formats that appeal to them. This leaves BinaryData, and the Azure SDK for Java, the task of converting this data into appropriate formats to be transferred to and from these external services. This enables developers to focus on their business logic, and enables the Azure SDK for Java to optimize operations for best performance.

BinaryData in its simplest form can be thought of as a container for content. Often this content is already in-memory as a String, byte array, or an Object that can be serialized into a String or byte[]. When the BinaryData is about to be sent to an Azure Service, this in-memory content is copied into the network request and sent to the service.

In more performance critical scenarios, where copying data into memory results in increased memory pressure, it is possible to create a BinaryData instance from a stream of data. From this, BinaryData can be connected directly to the outgoing network connection so that the stream is read directly to the network, without needing to first be read into memory on the system. Similarly, it is possible to read a stream of data from a BinaryData returned from an Azure Service without it first being read into memory. In many situations, these streaming operations can drastically reduce the memory pressure in applications, and so it is encouraged that all developers very carefully consider their ability to use the most appropriate API in BinaryData whenever they encounter an client library that makes use of BinaryData.

Refer to the documentation of each method in the BinaryData class to better understand its performance characteristics, and refer to the samples below to understand the common usage scenarios of this class.

BinaryData can be created from an InputStream, a Flux of ByteBuffer, a String, an Object, a file, or a byte array.

A note on data mutability

BinaryData does not copy data on construction. BinaryData keeps a reference to the source content and is accessed when a read request is made. So, any modifications to the underlying source before the content is read can result in undefined behavior.

To create an instance of BinaryData, use the various static factory methods available. They all start with 'from' prefix, for example fromBytes(byte[] data).

Create an instance from a byte array

final byte[] data = "Some Data".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
 BinaryData binaryData = BinaryData.fromBytes(data);
 System.out.println(new String(binaryData.toBytes(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8));

Create an instance from a String

final String data = "Some Data";
 // Following will use default character set as StandardCharsets.UTF_8
 BinaryData binaryData = BinaryData.fromString(data);
 System.out.println(binaryData.toString());

Create an instance from an InputStream

final ByteArrayInputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream("Some Data".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
 BinaryData binaryData = BinaryData.fromStream(inputStream);
 System.out.println(binaryData);

Create an instance from an Object

final Person data = new Person().setName("John");

 // Provide your custom serializer or use Azure provided serializers.
 // https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/com.azure/azure-core-serializer-json-jackson or
 // https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/com.azure/azure-core-serializer-json-gson
 BinaryData binaryData = BinaryData.fromObject(data);

 System.out.println(binaryData);

Create an instance from Flux

final byte[] data = "Some Data".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
 final Flux<ByteBuffer> dataFlux = Flux.just(ByteBuffer.wrap(data));

 Mono<BinaryData> binaryDataMono = BinaryData.fromFlux(dataFlux);

 Disposable subscriber = binaryDataMono
     .map(binaryData -> {
         System.out.println(binaryData.toString());
         return true;
     })
     .subscribe();

 // So that your program wait for above subscribe to complete.
 TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(5);
 subscriber.dispose();

Create an instance from a file

BinaryData binaryData = BinaryData.fromFile(new File("path/to/file").toPath());
 System.out.println(new String(binaryData.toBytes(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8));

Method Details

toObject

public T toObject(TypeReference typeReference)

Returns an Object representation of this BinaryData by deserializing its data using the default JsonSerializer. Each time this method is called, the content is deserialized and a new instance of type T is returned. So, calling this method repeatedly to convert the underlying data source into the same type is not recommended.

The type, represented by TypeReference<T>, can either be a generic or non-generic type. If the type is generic create a sub-type of TypeReference<T>, if the type is non-generic use createInstance(Class<T> clazz).

Note: This method first looks for a JsonSerializerProvider implementation on the classpath. If no implementation is found, a default Jackson-based implementation will be used to deserialize the object.

To safely update the ByteBuffer without impacting the BinaryData instance, perform an array copy first.

public static Mono fromFlux(Flux data, Long length, boolean bufferContent)

Creates an instance of BinaryData from the given Flux of ByteBuffer.

If bufferContent is true and length is null the length of the returned BinaryData will be based on the length calculated by buffering. If length is non-null it will always be used as the BinaryData length even if buffering determines a different length.

Create an instance from a Flux of ByteBuffer

final byte[] data = "Some Data".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
 final long length = data.length;
 final boolean shouldAggregateData = false;
 final Flux<ByteBuffer> dataFlux = Flux.just(ByteBuffer.wrap(data));

 Mono<BinaryData> binaryDataMono = BinaryData.fromFlux(dataFlux, length, shouldAggregateData);

 Disposable subscriber = binaryDataMono
     .map(binaryData -> {
         System.out.println(binaryData.toString());
         return true;
     })
     .subscribe();

 // So that your program wait for above subscribe to complete.
 TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(5);
 subscriber.dispose();

Parameters:

data - The Flux of ByteBuffer that BinaryData will represent.
length - The length of data in bytes.
bufferContent - A flag indicating whether Flux should be buffered eagerly or consumption deferred.

Returns:

A Mono of BinaryData representing the Flux of ByteBuffer.

fromListByteBuffer

public static BinaryData fromListByteBuffer(List data)

Creates an instance of BinaryData from the given List of ByteBuffer.

The input ByteBuffer instances are used as a reference by this instance of BinaryData and any changes to a ByteBuffer outside of this instance will result in the contents of this BinaryData instance being updated as well. To safely update the byte array without impacting the BinaryData instance, perform an array copy first.

Create an instance from a List

final List<ByteBuffer> data = Stream.of("Some ", "data")
     .map(s -> ByteBuffer.wrap(s.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)))
     .collect(Collectors.toList());
 BinaryData binaryData = BinaryData.fromListByteBuffer(data);
 System.out.println(binaryData);

Parameters:

data - The List of ByteBuffer that BinaryData will represent.

Returns:

A BinaryData representing the List of ByteBuffer.

This method returns a reference to the underlying byte array. Modifying the contents of the returned byte array may change the content of this BinaryData instance. If the content source of this BinaryData instance is a file, an InputStream, or a Flux the source is not modified. To safely update the byte array, it is recommended to make a copy of the contents first.

If the BinaryData is larger than the maximum size allowed for a byte[] this will throw an IllegalStateException.

Returns:

toFluxByteBuffer

Replayability does not imply thread-safety. The caller must not use data accessors of returned BinaryData simultaneously.

BinaryData binaryData = binaryDataProducer();

 if (!binaryData.isReplayable()) {
     binaryData = binaryData.toReplayableBinaryData();
 }

 streamConsumer(binaryData.toStream());
