Class ToStringBuilder

  • public final class ToStringBuilder
extends java.lang.Object
    Helps with the construction of good Object.toString() representations.

    You can customize the output using the builder-style methods singleLine() skipNulls() and hideFieldNames().

    You can either directly list fields to include via add(String, Object) and add(Object) or you can let the builder do it automatically using reflection, either including the fields declared in this class or including all superclasses.

    The builder will automatically handle cycles in the object tree. It also pretty prints arrays and Iterables.

    This class is not thread safe.

      • ToStringBuilder

        public ToStringBuilder​(java.lang.Object instance)
        Creates a new ToStringBuilder for the given object. If you don't use reflection, then this instance is only used for obtaining its classes' simple name.
        Parameters:
        instance - the object to convert to a String

    • Method Detail

      • singleLine

        public ToStringBuilder singleLine()
        Fields are printed on a single line, separated by commas instead of newlines
        Returns:
        this

      • skipNulls

        public ToStringBuilder skipNulls()
        Fields with null values will be excluded from the output
        Returns:
        this

      • hideFieldNames

        public ToStringBuilder hideFieldNames()
        Field names will not be included in the output. Useful for small classes.
        Returns:
        this

      • verbatimValues

        public ToStringBuilder verbatimValues()
        By default, Iterables, Arrays and multiline Strings are pretty-printed. Switching to their normal representation makes the toString method significantly faster.
        Returns:
        this

        public ToStringBuilder addDeclaredFields​(java.util.function.Predicate<java.lang.reflect.Field> condition)
        Adds all fields declared directly in the object's class that satisfy the given condition to the output
