About
System.Memory.Data introduces the BinaryData type, a lightweight abstraction for a byte payload.
It makes it easy to convert between string, bytes, and stream.
This abstraction can simplify the API surface by exposing a single type instead of numerous overloads or properties.
The BinaryData type handles data ownership efficiently, wrapping passed-in bytes when using byte[] or ReadOnlyMemory<byte> constructors or methods, and managing data as bytes when dealing with streams, strings, or rich model types serialized as JSON.
Key Features
- Lightweight abstraction for byte payload via
BinaryDatatype. - Convenient helper methods for common conversions among string, bytes, and stream.
- Efficient data ownership handling.
How to Use
To/From String:
var data = new BinaryData("some data");
// ToString will decode the bytes using UTF-8
Console.WriteLine(data.ToString()); // prints "some data"
To/From Bytes:
byte[] bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("some data");
// Create BinaryData using a constructor ...
BinaryData data = new BinaryData(bytes);
// Or using a static factory method.
data = BinaryData.FromBytes(bytes);
// There is an implicit cast defined for ReadOnlyMemory<byte>
ReadOnlyMemory<byte> rom = data;
// There is also an implicit cast defined for ReadOnlySpan<byte>
ReadOnlySpan<byte> ros = data;
// there is also a ToMemory method that gives access to the ReadOnlyMemory.
rom = data.ToMemory();
// and a ToArray method that converts into a byte array.
byte[] array = data.ToArray();
To/From stream:
var bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("some data");
Stream stream = new MemoryStream(bytes);
var data = BinaryData.FromStream(stream);
// Calling ToStream will give back a stream that is backed by ReadOnlyMemory, so it is not writable.
stream = data.ToStream();
Console.WriteLine(stream.CanWrite); // prints false
BinaryData also can be used to integrate with ObjectSerializer.
By default, the JsonObjectSerializer will be used, but any serializer deriving from ObjectSerializer can be used.
var model = new CustomModel
{
A = "some text",
B = 5,
C = true
};
var data = BinaryData.FromObjectAsJson(model);
model = data.ToObjectFromJson<CustomModel>();
