Development Status
All units are implemented. For future ideas, take a look at the open tickets in case you are interested.
Usage
Factories
Each unit implements a Byte-based static factory method (valueOf(BigInteger)
or valueOf(long)
) that can be used to represent a given number of bytes in a specific unit. Note that Long.MAX_VALUE == 8 Exabyte
, thus use BigInteger
if you want to work with anything bigger than a eight Exabyte. When in doubt, always use BigInteger
.
// 'long' based
Kilobyte unit = Kilobyte.valueOf(500) // 500 Byte or "0.50 kB"
Kibibyte unit = Kibibyte.valueOf(512) // 512 Byte or "0.50 KiB"
CommonKilobyte unit = CommonKilobyte.valueOf(512) // 512 Byte or "0.50 kB"
Megabyte unit = Megabyte.valueOf(1_000_000) // 1 000 000 Byte or "1.00 MB"
Mebibyte unit = Mebibyte.valueOf(1_048_576) // 1 048 576 Byte or "1.00 MiB"
CommonMegabyte unit = CommonMegabyte.valueOf(1_048_576) // 1 048 576 Byte or "1.00 MB"
// 'BigInteger' based
Kilobyte unit = Kilobyte.valueOf(BigInteger.valueOf(500)) // 500 Byte or "0.50 kB"
Kibibyte unit = Kibibyte.valueOf(BigInteger.valueOf(512)) // 512 Byte or "0.50 KiB"
CommonKilobyte unit = CommonKilobyte.valueOf(BigInteger.valueOf(512)) // 512 Byte or "0.50 KB"
Megabyte unit = Megabyte.valueOf(BigInteger.valueOf(1000000)) // 1 000 000 Byte or "1.00 MB"
Mebibyte unit = Mebibyte.valueOf(BigInteger.valueOf(1_048_576)) // 1 048 576 Byte or "1.00 MB"
CommonMegabyte unit = CommonMegabyte.valueOf(BigInteger.valueOf(1_048_576)) // 1 048 576 Byte or "1.00 MB"
The StorageUnits
class offers three factory methods that automatically pick the best-matching unit for a given number of bytes.
Binary Units
// 'long' based
StorageUnit<?> unit = StorageUnits.binaryValueOf(256) // Kibibyte (0.25 KiB)
StorageUnit<?> unit = StorageUnits.binaryValueOf(1048576) // Mebibyte (1.00 MiB)
// 'BigInteger' based
StorageUnit<?> unit = StorageUnits.binaryValueOf(BigInteger.valueOf(256)) // Kibibyte (0.25 MiB)
StorageUnit<?> unit = StorageUnits.binaryValueOf(BigInteger.valueOf(1048576)) // Mebibyte (1.00 MiB)
Decimal Units
// 'long' based
StorageUnit<?> unit = StorageUnits.decimalValueOf(120000) // Kilobyte (120.00 kB)
StorageUnit<?> unit = StorageUnits.decimalValueOf(1000000) // Megabyte (1.00 MB)
// 'BigInteger' based
StorageUnit<?> unit = StorageUnits.decimalValueOf(BigInteger.valueOf(120000)) // Kilobyte (120.00 kB)
StorageUnit<?> unit = StorageUnits.decimalValueOf(BigInteger.valueOf(1000000)) // Megabyte (1.00 MB)
Common Units
// 'long' based
StorageUnit<?> unit = StorageUnits.commonValueOf(256) // CommonKilobyte (0.25 kB)
StorageUnit<?> unit = StorageUnits.commonValueOf(1048576) // CommonMebibyte (1.00 MB)
// 'BigInteger' based
StorageUnit<?> unit = StorageUnits.commonValueOf(BigInteger.valueOf(256)) // CommonKilobyte (0.25 kB)
StorageUnit<?> unit = StorageUnits.commonValueOf(BigInteger.valueOf(1048576)) // CommonMebibyte (1.00 MB)
Additionally high-level factory methods are also available in the StorageUnits
class.

Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide
Each unit implements the basic four math operations. All operations retain their original type, e.g. [Kilobyte] + [Megabyte] = [Kilobyte]
import static de.xn__ho_hia.storage_unit.StorageUnits.*;
kilobyte(4).add(kilobyte(8)) // 4 Kilobyte + 8 Kilobyte = 12 Kilobyte = 12 000 Byte
kibibyte(1).add(1024) // 1 Kibibyte + 1 024 Byte = 2 Kibibyte = 2 048 Byte
kibibyte(1).subtract(24) // 1 024 Byte - 24 Byte = 1 000 Byte
megabyte(5).subtract(kilobyte(500)) // 5 Megabyte - 500 Kilobyte = 4.5 Megabyte = 4 500 Kilobyte = 4 500 000 Byte
gigabyte(1).multiply(5) // 1 Gigabyte times 5 = 5 Gigabyte
terabyte(1).divide(5) // 1 Terabyte divided by 5 = 0.2 Terabyte = 200 Gigabyte
Comparison & Equality
Each unit is comparable to each other unit.
import static de.xn__ho_hia.storage_unit.StorageUnits.*;
kibibyte(1024).compareTo(mebibyte(1)) == 0 // true
kibibyte(1000).compareTo(mebibyte(1)) == 0 // false
petabyte(3).compareTo(terabyte(3000)) == 0 // true
megabyte(1000).equals(gigabyte(1)) // true
megabyte(1024).equals(gigabyte(1)) // false
terabyte(12).equals(gigabyte(12000)) // true
Formatting
Each unit prints a human-readable string, representing the amount of bytes in the given unit using the symbol specified in ISO IEC 80000-13:2008.
import static de.xn__ho_hia.storage_unit.StorageUnits.*;
// default pattern '0.00'
terabyte(2).toString() // "2.00 TB"
gigabyte(1).add(megabyte(200)).toString() // "1.20 GB"
petabyte(1).subtract(terabyte(250)).toString() // "0.75 PB"
// use custom pattern
kilobyte(212345).toString("0.0") // "212345.0 kB"
gibibyte(2123458).asTebibyte().toString("#,###.000") // "2,073.689 TiB"
kilobyte(120).asMegabyte().add(gigabyte(1)).toString("#,##0.00000") // "1,000.12000 MB"
// use custom pattern with specific Locale
kilobyte(212345).toString("0.0", Locale.GERMAN) // "212345,0 kB"

formatAsPetabyte(numberOfBytes) // "1.00 PB"
formatAsTerabyte(numberOfBytes) // "1000.00 TB"

// use custom format
formatAsTerabyte(numberOfBytes, customFormat) // "1000.00000 TB"
formatAsPebibyte(numberOfBytes, customFormat) // ".88818 PiB"
Conversions
Each unit can be converted to each other unit without loss of information.
import static de.xn__ho_hia.storage_unit.StorageUnits.*;
Megabyte unit = kilobyte(1000).asMegabyte() // "1.00 MB"
Kilobyte unit = gigabyte(12).asKilobyte() // "12000000.00 kB"
Gigabyte unit = terabyte(1).asGigabyte() // "1000.00 GB"
// convert to best-match
kilobyte(1100).asBestMatchingUnit() // "1.10 MB"
kilobyte(1100).asBestMatchingBinaryUnit() // "1.05 MiB"
kilobyte(1100).asBestMatchingDecimalUnit() // "1.10 MB"
kilobyte(1100).asBestMatchingCommonUnit() // "1.05 MB"
Each unit can be expressed as a fraction of another unit (precise up to 24 decimal places)
import static de.xn__ho_hia.storage_unit.StorageUnits.*;
BigDecimal kilobytes = megabyte(1).inKilobyte() // 1 000
BigInteger bytes = kibibyte(2).inByte() // 2 048
BigDecimal terabytes = gigabyte(15).inTerabyte() // 0.015
Serialization
The storage-units-(eclipselink|mongodb|jackson) modules provide custom serializers to store storage units.
EclipseLink
Use any of the three converters like this:
@Entity
public class HardDisk implements Serializable {
@Basic
@Converter (
name="binaryConverter",
converterClass=de.xn__ho_hia.storage_unit.eclipselink.BinaryStorageUnitConverter.class
)
@Convert("binaryConverter")
public StorageUnit<?> getFreeSize() {
return freeSize;
}
@Basic
@Converter (
name="commonConverter",
converterClass=de.xn__ho_hia.storage_unit.eclipselink.CommonStorageUnitConverter.class
)
@Convert("commonConverter")
public StorageUnit<?> getUsedSize() {
return usedSize;
}
@Basic
@Converter (
name="decimalConverter",
converterClass=de.xn__ho_hia.storage_unit.eclipselink.DecimalyStorageUnitConverter.class
)
@Convert("decimalConverter")
public StorageUnit<?> getTotalSize() {
return totalSize;
}
}
MongoDB
Use any of the three codecs like this:
CodecRegistry binaryRegistry = CodecRegistries.fromCodecs(new BinaryStorageUnitCodec(), ...);
CodecRegistry commonRegistry = CodecRegistries.fromCodecs(new CommonStorageUnitCodec(), ...);
CodecRegistry decimalRegistry = CodecRegistries.fromCodecs(new DecimalStorageUnitCodec(), ...);
Jackson
Use the provided StorageUnitModule
like this:
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
objectMapper.registerModule(new StorageUnitModule()); // defaults to binary units
objectMapper.registerModule(new StorageUnitModule(StorageUnitModule.PreferredUnitType.BINARY));
objectMapper.registerModule(new StorageUnitModule(StorageUnitModule.PreferredUnitType.COMMON));
objectMapper.registerModule(new StorageUnitModule(StorageUnitModule.PreferredUnitType.DECIMAL));
