DeltaStream

open class DeltaStream : DataValue

A stream of delta items, each of which is either an EntityValue or a ChangedLink. While processing a stream, a delta link may be encountered, but it will not be immediately available to the caller. The deltaLink can be obtained only after the stream is closed.

Example

let deltaStream = ...
while (deltaStream.next())
{
    if (deltaStream.hasEntity())
    {
        let entity = deltaStream.getEntity()
        // Process entity value.
    }
    else
    {
        let link = deltaStream.getLink()
        // Process changed link.
    }
}
deltaStream.close()
var deltaLink = deltaStream.deltaLink
// Save delta link for later use.

  • Has close been called?

    Declaration

    Swift

    final public var isClosed: Bool

  • The current delta item (an EntityValue or ChangedLink), or nil.

    Declaration

    Swift

    final public var deltaItem: AnyObject?

  • The delta-link (if any) that was encountered when next was called repeatedly until it returned false and then close was called, otherwise nil.

    Declaration

    Swift

    final public var deltaLink: String?

  • The next-link (if any) that was encountered when next was called repeatedly until it returned false and then close was called, otherwise nil.

    Declaration

    Swift

    final public var nextLink: String?

  • The read-link (if any) that was encountered when next was called repeatedly until it returned false and then close was called, otherwise nil.

    Declaration

    Swift

    final public var readLink: String?

  • Default initializer.

    Declaration

    Swift

    override public init()

  • Close this stream and release all associated resources, without checking first that the end of stream has been reached.

    See also

    close.

    Declaration

    Swift

    open func abort() throws

  • Close this stream and release all associated resources, checking first that the end of stream has been reached. Can safely be called even if the stream was previously closed. If a delta link was encountered before the stream was closed, it will be available via the deltaLink property only after the stream is closed. If a next link was encountered before the stream was closed, it will be available via the nextLink property only after the stream is closed.

    abort.

    Declaration

    Swift

    open func close() throws

  • See also

    hasCurrent.

    Declaration

    Swift

    open func current() throws -> AnyObject?

    Return Value

    the current delta item (an EntityValue or ChangedLink), or nil if there is no current delta item.

  • Data type with a DataType.code of DataType.DELTA_STREAM.

    Declaration

    Swift

    override open var dataType: DataType { get }

  • Throws

    UsageException if there no current delta item or if the current delta item is a changed link.

    See also

    getCurrent.

    Declaration

    Swift

    open func entity() throws -> EntityValue

    Return Value

    the current entity value.

  • See also

    getCurrent.

    Declaration

    Swift

    open func hasCurrent() throws -> Bool

    Return Value

    true if the if the stream has a current delta item (the most recent call to next returned true and close has not been called)).

  • Check if the stream has a current delta item which is an entity value.

    See also

    getEntity.

    Declaration

    Swift

    open func hasEntity() throws -> Bool

    Return Value

    true if hasCurrent would return true if called, and the current delta item is an entity value.

  • Check if the stream has a current delta item which is a changed link.

    See also

    getLink.

    Declaration

    Swift

    open func hasLink() throws -> Bool

    Return Value

    true if hasCurrent would return true if called, and the current delta item is a changed link.

  • Throws

    UsageException if there is no current delta item or if the current delta item is an entity value.

    See also

    getCurrent.

    Declaration

    Swift

    open func link() throws -> ChangedLink

    Return Value

    the current changed link.

  • If this stream has not been close and has a next delta item, then advance to the next delta item and return true. Otherwise return false.

    See also

    hasCurrent, hasEntity, hasLink, getCurrent, getEntity, getLink.

    Declaration

    Swift

    open func next() throws -> Bool

    Return Value

    true if there is a next delta item available.

  • Convert this data value to a string. If the dataType is defined by XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes, then the corresponding lexical format is used. JSON format is used for structured values (arrays and objects).

    Declaration

    Swift

    override open func toString() -> String

    Return Value

    Lexical representation of this data value.
