PHP Unpacking Functionality in Java

Question

I am wondering what is the algorithm underlying the method unpack()in PHP? Maybe there is an equivalent in Java that I could use?

What would be the best way to implement the PHP unpack()method in Java?

Answer 1

The closest functionality is the DataInputStream / DataOutputStream data pair.

Answer 2

I find the closest in java to Object Serialization.

See java.io.ObjectOutputStreamandjava.io.ObjectInputStream

as always, there is a library method for wrapping this material in several pleasant, convenient ways.

in commons-lang :

• SerializationUtils.serialize(Serializable);
• SerializationUtils.deserialize(byte []);
