ByteArrayBuilder (jackson-core 2.1.2)

java.lang.Object
- java.io.OutputStream
- - com.fasterxml.jackson.core.util.ByteArrayBuilder

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, Flushable, AutoCloseable
```
public final class ByteArrayBuilder
extends OutputStream
```
Helper class that is similar to ByteArrayOutputStream in usage, but more geared to Jackson use cases internally. Specific changes include segment storage (no need to have linear backing buffer, can avoid reallocs, copying), as well API not based on OutputStream. In short, a very much specialized builder object.
Since version 1.5, also implements OutputStream to allow efficient aggregation of output content as a byte array, similar to how ByteArrayOutputStream works, but somewhat more efficiently for many use cases.

Method Summary

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`void`	`append(int i)`
`void`	`appendThreeBytes(int b24)`
`void`	`appendTwoBytes(int b16)`
`void`	`close()`
`byte[]`	`completeAndCoalesce(int lastBlockLength)` Method that will complete "manual" output process, coalesce content (if necessary) and return results as a contiguous buffer.
`byte[]`	`finishCurrentSegment()` Method called when the current segment buffer is full; will append to current contents, allocate a new segment buffer and return it
`void`	`flush()`
`byte[]`	`getCurrentSegment()`
`int`	`getCurrentSegmentLength()`
`void`	`release()` Clean up method to call to release all buffers this object may be using.
`void`	`reset()`
`byte[]`	`resetAndGetFirstSegment()` Method called when starting "manual" output: will clear out current state and return the first segment buffer to fill
`void`	`setCurrentSegmentLength(int len)`
`byte[]`	`toByteArray()` Method called when results are finalized and we can get the full aggregated result buffer to return to the caller
`void`	`write(byte[] b)`
`void`	`write(byte[] b, int off, int len)`
`void`	`write(int b)`

```
public void release()
```
    Clean up method to call to release all buffers this object may be using. After calling the method, no other accessors can be used (and attempt to do so may result in an exception)
  - append

public void append(int i)
```
  - appendTwoBytes
```
public void appendTwoBytes(int b16)
```
  - appendThreeBytes
```
public void appendThreeBytes(int b24)
```
  - toByteArray
```
public byte[] toByteArray()
```
    Method called when results are finalized and we can get the full aggregated result buffer to return to the caller
  - resetAndGetFirstSegment
```
public byte[] resetAndGetFirstSegment()
```
    Method called when starting "manual" output: will clear out current state and return the first segment buffer to fill
  - finishCurrentSegment
```
public byte[] finishCurrentSegment()
```
    Method called when the current segment buffer is full; will append to current contents, allocate a new segment buffer and return it
  - completeAndCoalesce
```
public byte[] completeAndCoalesce(int lastBlockLength)
```
    Method that will complete "manual" output process, coalesce content (if necessary) and return results as a contiguous buffer.
    
    Parameters:
    lastBlockLength - Amount of content in the current segment buffer.
    
    Returns:
    Coalesced contents

public byte[] getCurrentSegment()
```
  - setCurrentSegmentLength
```
public void setCurrentSegmentLength(int len)
```
  - getCurrentSegmentLength
```
public int getCurrentSegmentLength()
```
  - write

public void write(byte[] b)
```
    Overrides:
    
    write in class OutputStream
  - write
```
public void write(byte[] b,
         int off,
         int len)
```

    write in class OutputStream
  - write
```
public void write(int b)
```
    Specified by:

  - close
```
public void close()
```
    Specified by:
    
    close in interface Closeable
