Constructor Detail

KeyType

public KeyType(String value,
               Requirement req)

Creates a new key type with the specified value and implementation requirement.

Parameters:

value - The key type value. Values are case sensitive. Must not be null.

req - The implementation requirement, null if not known.

Method Detail

getValue

public String getValue()

Gets the value of this key type. Values are case sensitive.

Returns:

The key type.

getRequirement

public Requirement getRequirement()

Gets the implementation requirement of this key type.

Returns:

The implementation requirement, null if not known.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides Object.hashCode().

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

The object hash code.

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)

Overrides Object.equals().

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

object - The object to compare to.

Returns:

true if the objects have the same value, otherwise false.

toString

public String toString()

Returns the string representation of this key type.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

The string representation.

getValue()

toJSONString

public String toJSONString()

Returns the JSON string representation of this key type.

Specified by:

toJSONString in interface net.minidev.json.JSONAware

Returns:

The JSON string representation.

parse

public static KeyType parse(String s)

Parses a key type from the specified string.

Parameters:

s - The string to parse. Must not be null.

Returns:

The key type (matching standard key type constant, else a newly created one).

Throws:

ParseException - If the string couldn't be parsed.
