i have two services (one in node, one in java) sharing objects, which are
compressed and, therefore, binary.
nodejs does a str.toString('binary') on the compressed buffer. this
changes the buffer as in the following example.
enc [ -108 1 72 116 104 105 115 32 105 115 32 116 104 101 32 115 116 114
105 110 103 32 70 19 0 70 18 0 -2 37 0 114 37 0 ]
enc.toString('binary') [ -62 -108 1 72 116 104 105 115 32 105 115 32 116
104 101 32 115 116 114 105 110 103 32 70 19 0 70 18 0 -61 -66 37 0 114 37 0
]
unfortunately, it appears that negative bytes become two negative bytes in
'binary' encoding, and i cannot find a java charset that can translate the
latter into the former.
i was told that 'binary' is simply 'latin1' encoding, but since these are
binary buffers, it does not do as expected. for example, if i take the
second array from above in Java, and do
new String(bytes, "latin1").getBytes("latin1"),
it gives me back the same array. [ -62 -108 1 72 116 104 105 115 32 105
115 32 116 104 101 32 115 116 114 105 110 103 32 70 19 0 70 18 0 -61 -66 37
0 114 37 0 ]
FWIW, i tracked the node buffer behavior down to v8 StringBytes::Write
implementation.
https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/23dfa71dd53617c3492f34787417ca60f03ea2ec/src/string_bytes.cc#L314
but unfortunately, that's where my C++ knowledge ends, and i am confused by
the following line. i imagine if i knew what exactly that did, i could
just reimplement it in java. str->WriteOneByte(reinterpret_cast<uint8_t*>(
buf), 0, buflen, flags);
thanks in advance! hopefully, someone else has seen and/or done this
already. :/
