I have a socket server which keeps listening to incoming requests. The data received will be in the form of binary array of bytes. Data format is something like this. 2321902321221200AA
The question is, how to parse the data and segregate the parameters.
Thanks in advance!!
Try java.io.DataInputStream:
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(in);
byte b = dis.readByte();
int version = (b >> 4) & 0xF;
int returnType = b & 0xF;
byte[] productCode = new byte[5];
dis.readFully(productCode);
int len = dis.readShort() & 0xFFFF;
if use the java binary block parser then code will look like
class Parsed {
@Bin byte begin;
@Bin(type = BinType.BIT) int version;
@Bin(type = BinType.BIT) int returnType;
@Bin byte [] productCode;
@Bin(type = BinType.USHORT) int dataLength;
}
final Parsed parsed = JBBPParser.prepare("byte begin; bit:4 version; bit:4 returnType; byte [5] productCode; ushort dataLength;")
.parse(new byte[]{0x23,0x21,(byte)0x90,0x23,0x21,0x22,0x12,0x00,(byte)0xAA})
.mapTo(Parsed.class);
assertEquals(0x23, parsed.begin);
assertEquals(0x01, parsed.version);
assertEquals(0x02, parsed.returnType);
assertArrayEquals(new byte[]{(byte)0x90,0x23,0x21,0x22,0x12}, parsed.productCode);
assertEquals(0x00AA,parsed.dataLength);
try {
char [] cbuf = new char[16];
char databegin = cbuf[0];
char [] version = Arrays.copyOfRange(cbuf, 1, 6)
char [] product_typep = Arrays.copyOfRange(cbuf, 7, 12)
char []data_lendth = Arrays.copyOfRange(cbuf, 13, 15)
} catch(Error e){
System.out.println(e);
}
byte [] data = receiveData ();
int dataBegin = data [0]; // Once field is 1-byte, it is simple!
int version = data [1] & 0x0F; // Use shift (>>>) and binary "and" (&)
int returnCode = // to extract value of fields that are
(data [1] >>> 4) & 0x0F; // smaller than one byte
byte [] productCode = // Copy fixed-size portions of data
new byte [] { // into separate arrays using hardcode
data [2], data [3], // (as here), or System.arrayCopy
data [4], data [5], // in case field occupies quite
data [6]}; // a many bytes.
int dataLength = // Use shift (<<) binary or (|) to
(data [7] & 0xFF) | // Combine several bytes into one integer
((data [8] & 0xFF) << 8); // We assume little-endian encoding here
I would got for some king of package reader:
class Record {
.....
Record static fromBytes(byte[] bytes) {
// here use ByteBuffer or DataInputStream to extract filds
......
}
}
Record readNextRecord(InputStream in) {
int len = in.read() && 0xFF;
byte[] data = new byte[len];
in.read(data);
return Record.fromBytes(data)
}
{
InputStream in = ....;
Record r readNextRecord(in);
process (r);
}
Of course you need to add error handling. In general, for something which should run reliable, I will suggest to use NIO framework like Grizzly or Netty.
You might get the data via the ByteArrayOutputStream And then parse the bytes by applying masks (mainly AND, OR).

Hope this helps
