public abstract class ByteBuffer extends Buffer implements Comparable<ByteBuffer>
A byte buffer.
This class defines six categories of operations upon byte buffers:
Absolute and relative
get
andput
methods that read and write single bytes;Relative
bulk get
methods that transfer contiguous sequences of bytes from this buffer into an array;Relative
bulk put
methods that transfer contiguous sequences of bytes from a byte array or some other byte buffer into this buffer;Absolute and relative
get
andput
methods that read and write values of other primitive types, translating them to and from sequences of bytes in a particular byte order;Methods for creating view buffers, which allow a byte buffer to be viewed as a buffer containing values of some other primitive type; and
A method for
compacting
a byte buffer.
Byte buffers can be created either by allocation
, which allocates space for the buffer's content, or by wrapping
an existing byte array into a buffer.
Direct vs. non-direct buffers
A byte buffer is either direct or non-direct. Given a direct byte buffer, the Java virtual machine will make a best effort to perform native I/O operations directly upon it. That is, it will attempt to avoid copying the buffer's content to (or from) an intermediate buffer before (or after) each invocation of one of the underlying operating system's native I/O operations.
A direct byte buffer may be created by invoking the allocateDirect
factory method of this class. The buffers returned by this method typically have somewhat higher allocation and deallocation costs than non-direct buffers. The contents of direct buffers may reside outside of the normal garbage-collected heap, and so their impact upon the memory footprint of an application might not be obvious. It is therefore recommended that direct buffers be allocated primarily for large, long-lived buffers that are subject to the underlying system's native I/O operations. In general it is best to allocate direct buffers only when they yield a measureable gain in program performance.
A direct byte buffer may also be created by mapping
a region of a file directly into memory. An implementation of the Java platform may optionally support the creation of direct byte buffers from native code via JNI. If an instance of one of these kinds of buffers refers to an inaccessible region of memory then an attempt to access that region will not change the buffer's content and will cause an unspecified exception to be thrown either at the time of the access or at some later time.
Whether a byte buffer is direct or non-direct may be determined by invoking its isDirect
method. This method is provided so that explicit buffer management can be done in performance-critical code.
Access to binary data
This class defines methods for reading and writing values of all other primitive types, except boolean
. Primitive values are translated to (or from) sequences of bytes according to the buffer's current byte order, which may be retrieved and modified via the order
methods. Specific byte orders are represented by instances of the ByteOrder
class. The initial order of a byte buffer is always BIG_ENDIAN
.
For access to heterogeneous binary data, that is, sequences of values of different types, this class defines a family of absolute and relative get and put methods for each type. For 32-bit floating-point values, for example, this class defines:
float getFloat() float getFloat(int index) void putFloat(float f) void putFloat(int index, float f)
Corresponding methods are defined for the types char,
short, int, long
, and double
. The index parameters of the absolute get and put methods are in terms of bytes rather than of the type being read or written.
For access to homogeneous binary data, that is, sequences of values of the same type, this class defines methods that can create views of a given byte buffer. A view buffer is simply another buffer whose content is backed by the byte buffer. Changes to the byte buffer's content will be visible in the view buffer, and vice versa; the two buffers' position, limit, and mark values are independent. The asFloatBuffer
method, for example, creates an instance of the FloatBuffer
class that is backed by the byte buffer upon which the method is invoked. Corresponding view-creation methods are defined for the types char, short, int, long
, and double
.
View buffers have three important advantages over the families of type-specific get and put methods described above:
A view buffer is indexed not in terms of bytes but rather in terms of the type-specific size of its values;
A view buffer provides relative bulk get and put methods that can transfer contiguous sequences of values between a buffer and an array or some other buffer of the same type; and
A view buffer is potentially much more efficient because it will be direct if, and only if, its backing byte buffer is direct.
The byte order of a view buffer is fixed to be that of its byte buffer at the time that the view is created.
Invocation chaining
Methods in this class that do not otherwise have a value to return are specified to return the buffer upon which they are invoked. This allows method invocations to be chained. The sequence of statements
bb.putInt(0xCAFEBABE); bb.putShort(3); bb.putShort(45);can, for example, be replaced by the single statement
bb.putInt(0xCAFEBABE).putShort(3).putShort(45);

The two buffers' position, limit, and mark values will be independent.
The new buffer's capacity, limit, position, and mark values will be identical to those of this buffer, and its byte order will be BIG_ENDIAN
.
If this buffer is itself read-only then this method behaves in exactly the same way as the duplicate
method.

get
public ByteBuffer get(byte[] dst, int offset, int length)
Relative bulk get method.
This method transfers bytes from this buffer into the given destination array. If there are fewer bytes remaining in the buffer than are required to satisfy the request, that is, if length
>
remaining()
, then no bytes are transferred and a BufferUnderflowException
is thrown.
Otherwise, this method copies length
bytes from this buffer into the given array, starting at the current position of this buffer and at the given offset in the array. The position of this buffer is then incremented by length
.
In other words, an invocation of this method of the form src.get(dst, off, len)
has exactly the same effect as the loop
for (int i = off; i < off + len; i++) dst[i] = src.get();except that it first checks that there are sufficient bytes in this buffer and it is potentially much more efficient.

andlength
parameters do not hold
get
public ByteBuffer get(byte[] dst)

-
BufferUnderflowException
- If there are fewer thanlength

Relative bulk put method (optional operation).
This method transfers the bytes remaining in the given source buffer into this buffer. If there are more bytes remaining in the source buffer than in this buffer, that is, if src.remaining()
>
remaining()
, then no bytes are transferred and a BufferOverflowException
is thrown.
Otherwise, this method copies n = src.remaining()
bytes from the given buffer into this buffer, starting at each buffer's current position. The positions of both buffers are then incremented by n.
In other words, an invocation of this method of the form dst.put(src)
has exactly the same effect as the loop
while (src.hasRemaining()) dst.put(src.get());except that it first checks that there is sufficient space in this buffer and it is potentially much more efficient.

remaining()
, then no bytes are transferred and a BufferOverflowException
is thrown.
Otherwise, this method copies length
bytes from the given array into this buffer, starting at the given offset in the array and at the current position of this buffer. The position of this buffer is then incremented by length
.
In other words, an invocation of this method of the form dst.put(src, off, len)
has exactly the same effect as the loop
for (int i = off; i < off + len; i++) dst.put(a[i]);except that it first checks that there is sufficient space in this buffer and it is potentially much more efficient.

put
public final ByteBuffer put(byte[] src)

public final boolean hasArray()
Tells whether or not this buffer is backed by an accessible byte array.
If this method returns true
then the array
and arrayOffset
methods may safely be invoked.
- Specified by:
-
hasArray
in classBuffer
- Returns:
-
true
if, and only if, this buffer is backed by an array and is not read-only
array
public final byte[] array()
Returns the byte array that backs this buffer (optional operation).
Modifications to this buffer's content will cause the returned array's content to be modified, and vice versa.
Invoke the hasArray
method before invoking this method in order to ensure that this buffer has an accessible backing array.
- Specified by:
-
array
in classBuffer
- Returns:
- The array that backs this buffer
- Throws:
-
ReadOnlyBufferException
- If this buffer is backed by an array but is read-only -
UnsupportedOperationException
- If this buffer is not backed by an accessible array
arrayOffset
public final int arrayOffset()
Returns the offset within this buffer's backing array of the first element of the buffer (optional operation).
If this buffer is backed by an array then buffer position p corresponds to array index p + arrayOffset()
.
Invoke the hasArray
method before invoking this method in order to ensure that this buffer has an accessible backing array.
- Specified by:
-
arrayOffset
in classBuffer
- Returns:
- The offset within this buffer's array of the first element of the buffer

UnsupportedOperationException
- If this buffer is not backed by an accessible array
compact
public abstract ByteBuffer compact()
Compacts this buffer (optional operation).
The bytes between the buffer's current position and its limit, if any, are copied to the beginning of the buffer. That is, the byte at index p = position()
is copied to index zero, the byte at index p + 1 is copied to index one, and so forth until the byte at index limit()
- 1 is copied to index n = limit()
- 1
- p. The buffer's position is then set to n+1 and its limit is set to its capacity. The mark, if defined, is discarded.
The buffer's position is set to the number of bytes copied, rather than to zero, so that an invocation of this method can be followed immediately by an invocation of another relative put method.
Invoke this method after writing data from a buffer in case the write was incomplete. The following loop, for example, copies bytes from one channel to another via the buffer buf
:
buf.clear(); // Prepare buffer for use while (in.read(buf) >= 0 || buf.position != 0) { buf.flip(); out.write(buf); buf.compact(); // In case of partial write }
- Returns:
- This buffer
- Throws:
-
ReadOnlyBufferException
- If this buffer is read-only
isDirect
public abstract boolean isDirect()
Tells whether or not this byte buffer is direct.
toString
public String toString()
Returns a string summarizing the state of this buffer.
hashCode
public int hashCode()
Returns the current hash code of this buffer.
The hash code of a byte buffer depends only upon its remaining elements; that is, upon the elements from position()
up to, and including, the element at limit()
- 1
.
Because buffer hash codes are content-dependent, it is inadvisable to use buffers as keys in hash maps or similar data structures unless it is known that their contents will not change.
- Overrides:
-
hashCode
in classObject
- Returns:
- The current hash code of this buffer
- See Also:
-
Object.equals(java.lang.Object)
,System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)
equals
public boolean equals(Object ob)
Tells whether or not this buffer is equal to another object.
Two byte buffers are equal if, and only if,
They have the same element type,
They have the same number of remaining elements, and
The two sequences of remaining elements, considered independently of their starting positions, are pointwise equal.
A byte buffer is not equal to any other type of object.
- Overrides:
-
equals
in classObject
- Parameters:
-
ob
- The object to which this buffer is to be compared - Returns:
-
true
if, and only if, this buffer is equal to the given object - See Also:
-
Object.hashCode()
,HashMap
compareTo
public int compareTo(ByteBuffer that)
Compares this buffer to another.
Two byte buffers are compared by comparing their sequences of remaining elements lexicographically, without regard to the starting position of each sequence within its corresponding buffer. Pairs of byte
elements are compared as if by invoking Byte.compare(byte,byte)
.
A byte buffer is not comparable to any other type of object.
- Specified by:
-
compareTo
in interfaceComparable<ByteBuffer>
- Parameters:
-
that
- the object to be compared. - Returns:
- A negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this buffer is less than, equal to, or greater than the given buffer
mismatch
public int mismatch(ByteBuffer that)
Finds and returns the relative index of the first mismatch between this buffer and a given buffer. The index is relative to the position
of each buffer and will be in the range of 0 (inclusive) up to the smaller of the remaining
elements in each buffer (exclusive).
If the two buffers share a common prefix then the returned index is the length of the common prefix and it follows that there is a mismatch between the two buffers at that index within the respective buffers. If one buffer is a proper prefix of the other then the returned index is the smaller of the remaining elements in each buffer, and it follows that the index is only valid for the buffer with the larger number of remaining elements. Otherwise, there is no mismatch.
- Parameters:
-
that
- The byte buffer to be tested for a mismatch with this buffer - Returns:
- The relative index of the first mismatch between this and the given buffer, otherwise -1 if no mismatch.
- Since:
- 11
order
public final ByteOrder order()
Retrieves this buffer's byte order.
The byte order is used when reading or writing multibyte values, and when creating buffers that are views of this byte buffer. The order of a newly-created byte buffer is always BIG_ENDIAN
.
- Returns:
- This buffer's byte order
order
public final ByteBuffer order(ByteOrder bo)
Modifies this buffer's byte order.
- Parameters:
-
bo
- The new byte order, eitherBIG_ENDIAN
orLITTLE_ENDIAN
- Returns:
- This buffer
alignmentOffset
public final int alignmentOffset(int index, int unitSize)
Returns the memory address, pointing to the byte at the given index, modulus the given unit size.
A return value greater than zero indicates the address of the byte at the index is misaligned for the unit size, and the value's quantity indicates how much the index should be rounded up or down to locate a byte at an aligned address. Otherwise, a value of 0
indicates that the address of the byte at the index is aligned for the unit size.
- API Note:
- This method may be utilized to determine if unit size bytes from an index can be accessed atomically, if supported by the native platform.
- Implementation Note:
- This implementation throws
UnsupportedOperationException
for non-direct buffers when the given unit size is greater then8
. - Parameters:
-
index
- The index to query for alignment offset, must be non-negative, no upper bounds check is performed -
unitSize
- The unit size in bytes, must be a power of2
- Returns:
- The indexed byte's memory address modulus the unit size
- Throws:
-
IllegalArgumentException
- If the index is negative or the unit size is not a power of2
-
UnsupportedOperationException
- If the native platform does not guarantee stable alignment offset values for the given unit size when managing the memory regions of buffers of the same kind as this buffer (direct or non-direct). For example, if garbage collection would result in the moving of a memory region covered by a non-direct buffer from one location to another and both locations have different alignment characteristics. - Since:
- 9
- See Also:
alignedSlice(int)
alignedSlice
public final ByteBuffer alignedSlice(int unitSize)
Creates a new byte buffer whose content is a shared and aligned subsequence of this buffer's content.
The content of the new buffer will start at this buffer's current position rounded up to the index of the nearest aligned byte for the given unit size, and end at this buffer's limit rounded down to the index of the nearest aligned byte for the given unit size. If rounding results in out-of-bound values then the new buffer's capacity and limit will be zero. If rounding is within bounds the following expressions will be true for a new buffer nb
and unit size unitSize
:
nb.alignmentOffset(0, unitSize) == 0 nb.alignmentOffset(nb.limit(), unitSize) == 0
Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer, and vice versa; the two buffers' position, limit, and mark values will be independent.
The new buffer's position will be zero, its capacity and its limit will be the number of bytes remaining in this buffer or fewer subject to alignment, its mark will be undefined, and its byte order will be BIG_ENDIAN
. The new buffer will be direct if, and only if, this buffer is direct, and it will be read-only if, and only if, this buffer is read-only.

- This method may be utilized to create a new buffer where unit size bytes from index, that is a multiple of the unit size, may be accessed atomically, if supported by the native platform.
- Implementation Note:
- This implementation throws
UnsupportedOperationException
for non-direct buffers when the given unit size is greater then8
. - Parameters:
-
unitSize
- The unit size in bytes, must be a power of2
- Returns:
- The new byte buffer
- Throws:
-
IllegalArgumentException
- If the unit size not a power of2
-
UnsupportedOperationException
- If the native platform does not guarantee stable aligned slices for the given unit size when managing the memory regions of buffers of the same kind as this buffer (direct or non-direct). For example, if garbage collection would result in the moving of a memory region covered by a non-direct buffer from one location to another and both locations have different alignment characteristics. - Since:
