- Method Detail
  - getEncoding
```
public Deque<Encoding<?>> getEncoding()
```
    Description copied from interface: EncodedData
    
    All encodings registered for this piece of EncodedData. May be empty. May contain only partial data: e.g. adding a ByteArrayEncoding to the list will request encoding by ByteArrayCodec, this method call will subsequently fill all fields of the requested Encoding to allow for decoding.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getEncoding in interface EncodedData<D>
    
    Returns:
    
    all associated Encoding instances
  - setEncoding
```
public void setEncoding(Deque<Encoding<?>> encoding)
```
    Description copied from interface: EncodedData
    
    Replace this encoding chain with a different one.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setEncoding in interface EncodedData<D>
    
    Parameters:
    
    encoding - the new encoding chain for this instance
  - hasNextDecodingStep
```
public boolean hasNextDecodingStep()
```
    Description copied from interface: EncodedData
    
    Convenience method to state whether the List returned by EncodedData.getEncoding() is not empty.
    
    Specified by:
    
    hasNextDecodingStep in interface EncodedData<D>
    
    Returns:
    
    true if encoding steps are registered and need to be resolved to access decoded data
