113. Introducing the Skip List data structure The Skip List data structure is a probabilistic data structure built on top of a linked list. A Skip List uses an underlying [...]
The remaining code handles the initialization of children in a lazy fashion (on demand): @Override public Collection<? extends Zippable> getChildren() { lazyGetChildren(); return (children != null) ? new LinkedList<>(Arrays.asList(children)) [...]
116. Introducing the Binomial Heap data structure A Binomial Heap data structure is a set composed of Binomial Trees. Each Binomial Tree is a Min Heap which means that it [...]
120. Introducing the Splay Tree data structure A Splay Tree is a flavor of Binary Search Tree (BST). Its particularity consists of the fact that it is a self-balancing tree [...]
124. Serializing objects to byte arrays In chapter 4, Problem X, we talked about the serialization/deserialization of Java records, so you should be pretty familiar with these operations. In a [...]
126. Serializing objects to XML Serializing/deserializing objects to XML via the JDK API can be accomplished via java.beans.XMLEncoder, respectively XMLDecoder. The XMLEncoder API relies on Java Reflection to discover the [...]
128. Implementing a custom pattern-based ObjectInputFilter Let’s assume that we already have the Melon class and the helper methods for serializing/deserializing objects to/from byte arrays from Problem 124.Creating a pattern-based [...]
134. Introducing JDK 17 easy filter creation Starting with JDK 17, we can express filters more intuitively and readable via two convenient methods named allowFilter() and rejectFilter(). And, since the [...]
135. Tackling context-specific deserialization filters JDK 17 enriched the deserialization filter capabilities with the implementation of JEP 415, Context-Specific Deserialization Filters.Practically, JDK 17 added the so-called Filter Factories. Depending on [...]
136. Monitoring Deserialization via JFR JFR stands for Java Flight Recorder and it is an event-based tool for diagnosis and profiling Java applications. This tool was initially added in JDK [...]
