• parseElements

  HeaderElement[] parseElements(CharSequence buffer,
                              ParserCursor cursor)

  Parses a header value into elements. Parse errors are indicated as RuntimeException.

  Parameters:

  buffer - buffer holding the header value to parse

  cursor - the parser cursor containing the current position and the bounds within the buffer for the parsing operation

  Returns:

  an array holding all elements of the header value

• parseHeaderElement

  HeaderElement parseHeaderElement(CharSequence buffer,
                                 ParserCursor cursor)

  Parses a single header element. A header element consist of a semicolon-separate list of name=value definitions.

  Parameters:

  buffer - buffer holding the element to parse

  cursor - the parser cursor containing the current position and the bounds within the buffer for the parsing operation

  Returns:

  the parsed element

• parseParameters

  NameValuePair[] parseParameters(CharSequence buffer,
                                ParserCursor cursor)

  Parses a list of name-value pairs. These lists are used to specify parameters to a header element. Parse errors are indicated as ParseException.

  Parameters:

  buffer - buffer holding the name-value list to parse

  cursor - the parser cursor containing the current position and the bounds within the buffer for the parsing operation

  Returns:

  an array holding all items of the name-value list

• parseNameValuePair

  NameValuePair parseNameValuePair(CharSequence buffer,
                                 ParserCursor cursor)

  Parses a name=value specification, where the = and value are optional.

  Parameters:

  buffer - the buffer holding the name-value pair to parse

  cursor - the parser cursor containing the current position and the bounds within the buffer for the parsing operation

  Returns:

  the name-value pair, where the value is null if no value is specified
