## Class DataFormatDetector

- java.lang.Object
- - com.hazelcast.com.fasterxml.jackson.core.format.DataFormatDetector

-     public class DataFormatDetector
      extends Object

  Simple helper class that allows data format (content type) auto-detection, given an ordered set of `JsonFactory` instances to use for actual low-level detection.

- - ### Field Summary

    Fields
    Modifier and Type | Field and Description
    --- | ---
    `protected JsonFactory[]` | `_detectors` Ordered list of factories which both represent data formats to detect (in precedence order, starting with highest) and are used for actual detection.
    `protected int` | `_maxInputLookahead` Maximum number of leading bytes of the input that we can read to determine data format.
    `protected MatchStrength` | `_minimalMatch` Strength of minimal match we accept as the answer, unless better matches are found.
    `protected MatchStrength` | `_optimalMatch` Strength of match we consider to be good enough to be used without checking any other formats.
    `static int` | `DEFAULT_MAX_INPUT_LOOKAHEAD` By default we will look ahead at most 64 bytes; in most cases, much less (4 bytes or so) is needed, but we will allow bit more leniency to support data formats that need more complex heuristics.

    All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `DataFormatMatcher` | `findFormat(byte[] fullInputData)` Method to call to find format that given content (full document) has, as per configuration of this detector instance.
    `DataFormatMatcher` | `findFormat(byte[] fullInputData, int offset, int len)` Method to call to find format that given content (full document) has, as per configuration of this detector instance.
    `DataFormatMatcher` | `findFormat(InputStream in)` Method to call to find format that content (accessible via given `InputStream`) given has, as per configuration of this detector instance.
    `String` | `toString()`
    `DataFormatDetector` | `withMaxInputLookahead(int lookaheadBytes)` Method that will return a detector instance that allows detectors to read up to specified number of bytes when determining format match strength.
    `DataFormatDetector` | `withMinimalMatch(MatchStrength minMatch)` Method that will return a detector instance that uses given minimal match level; match that may be returned unless a stronger match is found with other format detectors.
    `DataFormatDetector` | `withOptimalMatch(MatchStrength optMatch)` Method that will return a detector instance that uses given optimal match level (match that is considered sufficient to return, without trying to find stronger matches with other formats).

    - #### DEFAULT_MAX_INPUT_LOOKAHEAD

          public static final int DEFAULT_MAX_INPUT_LOOKAHEAD

      By default we will look ahead at most 64 bytes; in most cases, much less (4 bytes or so) is needed, but we will allow bit more leniency to support data formats that need more complex heuristics.
