Index operator []
This article shows usage of [] operator for arrays and collections. In Javonet, every array or collection from called technology is treated as a reference.
Javonet allows you to reference and use modules or packages written in (Java/Kotlin/Groovy/Clojure, C#/VB.NET, Ruby, Perl, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript) like they were created in your technology. If have not yet created your first project check Javonet overview and quick start guides for your technology.
With Javonet you can interact with arrays from any runtime like they were available in C# but invocation must be performed through Javonet SDK API.
Custom any runtime with arrays handling
With Javonet it is possible to reference any custom any runtime and interact with arrays declared on types defined within that module almost the same as with any other C# library.
Snippet below represents the sample code from any runtime that has methods which return or process the arrays:
Select technology of module you want to use:
Each array or collection from any runtime returns as InvocationContext which contains reference to the target data. Javonet SDK implements [] operator on InvocationContext to interact with complex data objects in C#:
Get C# element from any runtime
Select technology of module you want to use:
In the snippet above, get1DArray method is used to get reference to 1D array from any runtime. Operator [] is used to get element from the array.
Set C# element from any runtime
Select technology of module you want to use:
In the snippet above, get1DArray method is used to get reference to 1D array from any runtime. Operator [] is used to set element of the 1D array.
The same operation can be performed remotely by just changing the new Runtime Context invocation from in memory to tcp that will create and interact with your any runtime objects on any remote node, container or service that hosts Javonet Code Gateway. This way you can preserve the same logic in your application and instantly switch between monolithic and microservices architecture without the need to implement the integration layer based on web services or other remote invocation methods.
