deserializeItemStack

public org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack deserializeItemStack(@Nonnull
                                                  java.io.DataInputStream input)
                                                    throws java.io.IOException

Read or deserialize an item stack from an underlying input stream.

To supply a byte array, wrap it in a ByteArrayInputStream and DataInputStream.

Parameters:

input - - the target input stream.

Returns:

The resulting item stack, or NULL if the serialized item stack was NULL.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If the operation failed due to reflection or corrupt data.

deserializeItemStack

public org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack deserializeItemStack(@Nonnull
                                                  java.lang.String input)
                                                    throws java.io.IOException

Deserialize an item stack from a base-64 encoded string.

Parameters:

input - - base-64 encoded string.

Returns:

A deserialized item stack, or NULL if the serialized ItemStack was also NULL.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If the operation failed due to reflection or corrupt data.

serializeItemStack

public void serializeItemStack(@Nonnull
                      java.io.DataOutputStream output,
                      org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack stack)
                        throws java.io.IOException

Write or serialize an item stack to the given output stream.

To supply a byte array, wrap it in a ByteArrayOutputStream and DataOutputStream.

Note: An ItemStack can be written to a stream even if it's NULL.

Parameters:

output - - the target output stream.

stack - - the item stack that will be written, or NULL to represent air/nothing.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If the operation fails due to reflection problems.

serializeItemStack

public java.lang.String serializeItemStack(org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack stack)
                                    throws java.io.IOException

Serialize an item stack as a base-64 encoded string.

Note: An ItemStack can be written to the serialized text even if it's NULL.

Parameters:

stack - - the item stack to serialize, or NULL to represent air/nothing.

Returns:

A base-64 representation of the given item stack.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If the operation fails due to reflection problems.
