Enum JsonFormat.Shape

java.lang.Object
  java.lang.Enum<JsonFormat.Shape>
      com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonFormat.Shape

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<JsonFormat.Shape>

Enclosing class:

JsonFormat

public static enum JsonFormat.Shape
extends Enum<JsonFormat.Shape>

Value enumeration used for indicating preferred Shape; translates loosely to JSON types, with some extra values to indicate less precise choices (i.e. allowing one of multiple actual shapes)

Enum Constant Summary

ANY
Marker enum value that indicates "default" (or "whatever") choice; needed since Annotations can not have null values for enums.

ARRAY
Value that indicates that (JSON) Array type should be used.

BOOLEAN
Value that indicates that (JSON) boolean type (true, false) should be used.

NUMBER
Value that indicates that a numeric (JSON) type should be used (but does not specify whether integer or floating-point representation should be used)

NUMBER_FLOAT
Value that indicates that floating-point numeric type should be used

NUMBER_INT
Value that indicates that integer number type should be used (and not NUMBER_FLOAT).

OBJECT
Value that indicates that (JSON) Object type should be used.

SCALAR
Value that indicates shape should not be structural (that is, not ARRAY or OBJECT, but can be any other shape.

STRING
Value that indicates that (JSON) String type should be used.

Method Summary

boolean	isStructured()
static JsonFormat.Shape	valueOf(String name) Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.

Enum Constant Detail

ANY

public static final JsonFormat.Shape ANY

Marker enum value that indicates "default" (or "whatever") choice; needed since Annotations can not have null values for enums.

SCALAR

public static final JsonFormat.Shape SCALAR

Value that indicates shape should not be structural (that is, not ARRAY or OBJECT, but can be any other shape.

ARRAY

public static final JsonFormat.Shape ARRAY

Value that indicates that (JSON) Array type should be used.

OBJECT

public static final JsonFormat.Shape OBJECT

Value that indicates that (JSON) Object type should be used.

NUMBER

public static final JsonFormat.Shape NUMBER

Value that indicates that a numeric (JSON) type should be used (but does not specify whether integer or floating-point representation should be used)

NUMBER_FLOAT

public static final JsonFormat.Shape NUMBER_FLOAT

Value that indicates that floating-point numeric type should be used

NUMBER_INT

public static final JsonFormat.Shape NUMBER_INT

Value that indicates that integer number type should be used (and not NUMBER_FLOAT).

STRING

public static final JsonFormat.Shape STRING

Value that indicates that (JSON) String type should be used.

BOOLEAN

public static final JsonFormat.Shape BOOLEAN

Value that indicates that (JSON) boolean type (true, false) should be used.

Method Detail

values

public static JsonFormat.Shape[] 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 (JsonFormat.Shape c : JsonFormat.Shape.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static JsonFormat.Shape 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
