Enum NodeType

java.lang.Object
  java.lang.Enum<NodeType>
      com.github.fge.jackson.NodeType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<NodeType>

public enum NodeType
extends Enum<NodeType>

Enumeration for the different types of JSON instances which can be encountered.

In addition to what the JSON RFC defines, JSON Schema has an integer type, which is a numeric value without any fraction or exponent part.

NOTE: will disappear in Jackson 2.2.x, which has an equivalent enumeration

Method Detail

values

public static NodeType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (NodeType c : NodeType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static NodeType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Enum<NodeType>

fromName

public static NodeType fromName(String name)

Given a type name, return the corresponding node type

Parameters:

name - the type name

Returns:

the node type, or null if not found

getNodeType

public static NodeType getNodeType(JsonNode node)

Given a JsonNode as an argument, return its type. The argument MUST NOT BE NULL, and MUST NOT be a MissingNode

Parameters:

node - the node to determine the type of

Returns:

the type for this node
