Method Detail

parseConfig

public static Configuration parseConfig(InputStream[] inputStreams)
                                 throws IOException

Parses a PDFreactor configuration into JSON format.

Parameters:

inputStreams - The JSON strings which will be merged.

Returns:

A Configuration instance.

Throws:

IOException - if the JSON string could not be parsed.

MissingDependencyException - if required dependencies are not available

parseConfig

public static Configuration parseConfig(boolean lenient,
                                        InputStream[] inputStreams)
                                 throws IOException

Parses a PDFreactor configuration into JSON format.

Parameters:

lenient - Whether to be lenient when parsing a config, i.e. ignoring unknown properties and converting empty types into null.

inputStreams - The JSON strings which will be merged.

Returns:

A Configuration instance.

Throws:

IOException - if the JSON string could not be parsed.

MissingDependencyException - if required dependencies are not available

parseConfig

public static Configuration parseConfig(String[] inputs)
                                 throws IOException

Parses a PDFreactor configuration into JSON format.

Parameters:

inputs - The JSON strings which will be merged.

Returns:

A Configuration instance.

Throws:

IOException - if the JSON string could not be parsed.

MissingDependencyException - if required dependencies are not available

parseConfig

public static Configuration parseConfig(boolean lenient,
                                        String[] inputs)
                                 throws IOException

Parses a PDFreactor configuration into JSON format.

Parameters:

lenient - Whether to be lenient when parsing a config, i.e. ignoring unknown properties and converting empty types into null.

inputs - The JSON strings which will be merged.

Returns:

A Configuration instance.

Throws:

IOException - if the JSON string could not be parsed.

MissingDependencyException - if required dependencies are not available

serializeConfig

public static String serializeConfig(Configuration config)
                              throws IOException

Serializes a PDFreactor Configuration instance into a JSON representation.

Note that the JSON is not an exact representation of the configuration as it truncates some data types and property values for readability purposes. This means parsing the resulting JSON with JsonUtil.parseConfig(InputStream...) may not produce an identical Configuration.

Parameters:

config - The Configuration instance.

Returns:

A JSON string.

Throws:

IOException - if the Configuration could not be serialized.

MissingDependencyException - if required dependencies are not available
