Package com.lucimber.dbus.codec.encoder

package com.lucimber.dbus.codec.encoder
D-Bus message encoding infrastructure for converting Java objects to wire format.

This package provides encoders for all D-Bus types, handling the marshalling of strongly-typed Java objects into the binary D-Bus wire protocol format. The encoders support both big-endian and little-endian byte ordering, with proper alignment and padding according to the D-Bus specification.

Getting Started

For first-time users: This package is primarily used internally by the framework. Most users won't interact with encoders directly. To create D-Bus messages, use the builder classes in com.lucimber.dbus.message package instead.

Key components include:

  • Encoder - Base encoder interface
  • EncoderFactory - Factory for creating type-specific encoders
  • Type-specific encoders for all D-Bus basic and container types
  • Automatic alignment and padding calculation
