StreamDecoder

final class StreamDecoder[+A]
Supports binary decoding of a stream that emits elements as they are decoded.
The main purpose of using a StreamDecoder over an scodec.Decoder is mixing
decoding with processing. For example, scodec.codecs.vector(decoderA): Decoder[Vector[A]]
could be used to decode a bit stream but the decoded Vector[A] would not be
emitted until the end of the bit stream. With StreamDecoder.many(decoderA): StreamDecoder[A],
each decoded A value is emitted as soon as it is decoded.
The StreamDecoder companion has various constructors -- most importantly, once
and many, that allow a Decoder[A] to be lifted to a StreamDecoder[A].
Given a StreamDecoder[A], a bit stream can be decoded via the decode method or
by calling a variant of toPipe.

Methods

def toPipe[F <: ([_$1] =>> Any)](evidence$1: RaiseThrowable[F]): (F, BitVector) => A
Converts this decoder to a Pipe[F, BitVector, A].
def toPipeByte[F <: ([_$3] =>> Any)](evidence$2: RaiseThrowable[F]): (F, Byte) => A
Converts this decoder to a Pipe[F, Byte, A].
def decode[F <: ([_$5] =>> Any)](s: Stream[F, BitVector])(evidence$3: RaiseThrowable[F]): Stream[F, A]
Returns a Stream[F, A] given a Stream[F, BitVector].
def apply[F <: ([_$6] =>> Any)](s: Stream[F, BitVector])(evidence$4: RaiseThrowable[F]): Pull[F, A, Option[Stream[F, BitVector]]]
Returns a Pull[F, A, Option[Stream[F, BitVector]]] given a Stream[F, BitVector].
The result of the returned pull is the remainder of the input stream that was not used in decoding.
Creates a stream decoder that, upon decoding an A, applies it to the supplied function and decodes
the next part of the input with the returned decoder. When that decoder finishes, the remainder of
the input is returned to the original decoder for further decoding.
def map[B](f: A => B): StreamDecoder[B]
Maps the supplied function over each output of this decoder.
def ++[A2 >: A](that: => StreamDecoder[A2]): StreamDecoder[A2]
Creates a stream decoder that first decodes until this decoder finishes and then decodes
using the supplied decoder.
Note: this should not be used to write recursive decoders (e.g., def ints: StreamDecoder[A] = once(int32) ++ ints)
if each incremental decoding step can fail with InsufficientBits. Otherwise, it decoding can get stuck in
an infinite loop, where the remaining bits are fed to the recursive call.
def isolate(bits: Long): StreamDecoder[A]
Alias for StreamDecoder.isolate(bits)(this).
def strict: Decoder[Vector[A]]
Converts this stream decoder to a Decoder[Vector[A]].
