</h1>
<div class="markdown level0 summary"><p>Encodes/decodes terms, postings, and proximity data.
<p>
Note, when extending this class, the name (<a class="xref" href="Lucene.Net.Codecs.PostingsFormat.html#Lucene_Net_Codecs_PostingsFormat_Name">Name</a>) may
written into the index in certain configurations. In order for the segment
to be read, the name must resolve to your implementation via <a class="xref" href="Lucene.Net.Codecs.PostingsFormat.html#Lucene_Net_Codecs_PostingsFormat_ForName_System_String_">ForName(String)</a>.
This method uses <a class="xref" href="Lucene.Net.Codecs.IPostingsFormatFactory.html#Lucene_Net_Codecs_IPostingsFormatFactory_GetPostingsFormat_System_String_">GetPostingsFormat(String)</a> to resolve format names.
<p>
If you implement your own format:
<ol><li>Subclass this class.</li><li>Subclass <a class="xref" href="Lucene.Net.Codecs.DefaultPostingsFormatFactory.html">DefaultPostingsFormatFactory</a>, override <a class="xref" href="Lucene.Net.Codecs.DefaultPostingsFormatFactory.html#Lucene_Net_Codecs_DefaultPostingsFormatFactory_Initialize">Initialize()</a>,
and add the line <code>base.ScanForPostingsFormats(typeof(YourPostingsFormat).Assembly)</code>.
If you have any format classes in your assembly
that are not meant for reading, you can add the <a class="xref" href="Lucene.Net.Codecs.ExcludePostingsFormatFromScanAttribute.html">ExcludePostingsFormatFromScanAttribute</a>
to them so they are ignored by the scan.</li><li>Set the new <a class="xref" href="Lucene.Net.Codecs.IPostingsFormatFactory.html">IPostingsFormatFactory</a> by calling <a class="xref" href="Lucene.Net.Codecs.PostingsFormat.html#Lucene_Net_Codecs_PostingsFormat_SetPostingsFormatFactory_Lucene_Net_Codecs_IPostingsFormatFactory_">SetPostingsFormatFactory(IPostingsFormatFactory)</a>
at application startup.</li></ol>
If your format has dependencies, you may also override <a class="xref" href="Lucene.Net.Codecs.DefaultPostingsFormatFactory.html#Lucene_Net_Codecs_DefaultPostingsFormatFactory_GetPostingsFormat_System_Type_">GetPostingsFormat(Type)</a> to inject
them via pure DI or a DI container. See <a href="http://blog.ploeh.dk/2014/05/19/di-friendly-framework/">DI-Friendly Framework</a>
to understand the approach used.
<p>
<strong>PostingsFormat Names</strong>
<p>
Unlike the Java version, format names are by default convention-based on the class name.
If you name your custom format class &quot;MyCustomPostingsFormat&quot;, the codec name will the same name
without the &quot;PostingsFormat&quot; suffix: &quot;MyCustom&quot;.
<p>
You can override this default behavior by using the <a class="xref" href="Lucene.Net.Codecs.PostingsFormatNameAttribute.html">PostingsFormatNameAttribute</a> to
name the format differently than this convention. Format names must be all ASCII alphanumeric,
and less than 128 characters in length.
