      • json

        public static JsonEntityStreamingSupport json()
        Default application/json entity streaming support.

        Provides framing (based on scanning the incoming dataBytes for valid JSON objects, so for example uploads using arrays or new-line separated JSON objects are all parsed correctly) and rendering of Sources as JSON Arrays. A different very popular style of returning streaming JSON is to separate JSON objects on a line-by-line basis, you can configure the support trait to do so by calling withFramingRendererFlow.

        Limits the maximum JSON object length to 8KB, if you want to increase this limit provide a value explicitly.

        (undocumented)

        Write-side, defines what Content-Type the Marshaller should offer and the final Content-Type of the response.

      • framingDecoder

        public abstract akka.stream.scaladsl.Flow<akka.util.ByteString,​akka.util.ByteString,​akka.NotUsed> framingDecoder()
        Read-side, decode incoming framed entity. For example with an incoming JSON array, chunk it up into JSON objects contained within that array.
        Returns:
        (undocumented)
      • getFramingDecoder

        public final akka.stream.javadsl.Flow<akka.util.ByteString,​akka.util.ByteString,​akka.NotUsed> getFramingDecoder()
        Description copied from class: EntityStreamingSupport
        Read-side, decode incoming framed entity. For example with an incoming JSON array, chunk it up into JSON objects contained within that array.
        Specified by:
        getFramingDecoder in class EntityStreamingSupport
        Returns:
        (undocumented)
      • framingRenderer

        public abstract akka.stream.scaladsl.Flow<akka.util.ByteString,​akka.util.ByteString,​akka.NotUsed> framingRenderer()
        Write-side, apply framing to outgoing entity stream.

        Most typical usage will be a variant of Flow[ByteString].intersperse.

        For example for rendering a JSON array one would return Flow[ByteString].intersperse(ByteString("["), ByteString(","), ByteString("]")) and for rendering a new-line separated CSV simply Flow[ByteString].intersperse(ByteString("\n")).

        Returns:
        (undocumented)
      • getFramingRenderer

        public final akka.stream.javadsl.Flow<akka.util.ByteString,​akka.util.ByteString,​akka.NotUsed> getFramingRenderer()
        Description copied from class: EntityStreamingSupport
        Write-side, apply framing to outgoing entity stream.

        Most typical usage will be a variant of Flow[ByteString].intersperse.

        For example for rendering a JSON array one would return Flow[ByteString].intersperse(ByteString("["), ByteString(","), ByteString("]")) and for rendering a new-line separated CSV simply Flow[ByteString].intersperse(ByteString("\n")).

        Returns:
        (undocumented)
      • withSupported

        public abstract EntityStreamingSupport withSupported​(ContentTypeRange range)
        Read-side, allows changing what content types are accepted by this framing.

        EntityStreamingSupport traits MUST support re-configuring the accepted ContentTypeRange.

        This is in order to support a-typical APIs which users still want to communicate with using the provided support trait. Typical examples include APIs which return valid application/json however advertise the content type as being application/javascript or vendor specific content types, which still parse correctly as JSON, CSV or something else that a provided support trait is built for.

        NOTE: Implementations should specialize the return type to their own Type!

        Specified by:
        withSupported in class EntityStreamingSupport
        Parameters:
        range - (undocumented)
        Returns:
        (undocumented)
      • withContentType

        public abstract EntityStreamingSupport withContentType​(ContentType range)
        Write-side, defines what Content-Type the Marshaller should offer and the final Content-Type of the response.

        EntityStreamingSupport traits MUST support re-configuring the offered ContentType. This is due to the need integrating with existing systems which sometimes expect custom Content-Types, however really are just plain JSON or something else internally (perhaps with slight extensions).

        NOTE: Implementations should specialize the return type to their own Type!

        Specified by:
        withContentType in class EntityStreamingSupport
        Parameters:
        range - (undocumented)
        Returns:
        (undocumented)
      • unordered

        public abstract boolean unordered()
        Write-side / read-side, defines if (un)marshalling should preserve ordering of incoming stream elements.

        Allowing for parallel and unordered (un)marshalling often yields higher throughput and also allows avoiding head-of-line blocking if some elements are much larger than others.

        See also parallelism() and withParallelMarshalling(int,boolean).

        Specified by:
        unordered in class EntityStreamingSupport
        Returns:
        (undocumented)
      • withParallelMarshalling

        public abstract EntityStreamingSupport withParallelMarshalling​(int parallelism,
                                                                       boolean unordered)
        Write-side / read-side, defines parallelism and if ordering should be preserved or not of Source element marshalling.

        Sometimes marshalling multiple elements at once (esp. when elements are not evenly sized, and ordering is not enforced) may yield in higher throughput.

        NOTE: Implementations should specialize the return type to their own Type!

        Specified by:
        withParallelMarshalling in class EntityStreamingSupport
        Parameters:
        parallelism - (undocumented)
        unordered - (undocumented)
        Returns:
        (undocumented)
