Interface Position

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<Position>

All Known Implementing Classes:

Index, Key

public interface Position
extends Comparable<Position>

Represents the location of a first-level element in a json, either a Key in a JsObj or an Index in a JsArray.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Index	asIndex()	Casts this position into an Index, throwing an exception if it's a Key.
Key	asKey()	Casts this position into a Key, throwing an exception if it's an index.
int	compareTo(Position o)
boolean	isIndex()	Returns true if this position is an index.
default boolean	isIndex(IntPredicate predicate)	Returns true if this position is an index and its index tested on a given predicate is true.
boolean	isKey()	Returns true if this position is an key.
default boolean	isKey(Predicate<String> predicate)	Returns true if this position is a key and its name tested on a given predicate is true.
default <T> T	match(Function<String,T> keyFn, IntFunction<T> indexFn)	Returns a new value applying pattern matching on the Position type.

Method Detail

compareTo

int compareTo(Position o)

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<Position>

asKey

Key asKey()

Casts this position into a Key, throwing an exception if it's an index.

Returns:

this position as a Key

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if this position is an Index

asIndex

Index asIndex()

Casts this position into an Index, throwing an exception if it's a Key.

Returns:

this position as an Index

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if this position is an Key

isIndex

boolean isIndex()

Returns true if this position is an index.

Returns:

true if this position is an index

isKey

boolean isKey()

Returns true if this position is an key.

Returns:

true if this position is an key

isKey

default boolean isKey(Predicate<String> predicate)

Returns true if this position is a key and its name tested on a given predicate is true.

Parameters:

predicate - the give predicate

Returns:

true if this position is a key and its name tested on a given predicate is true

isIndex

default boolean isIndex(IntPredicate predicate)

Returns true if this position is an index and its index tested on a given predicate is true.

Parameters:

predicate - the give predicate

Returns:

true if this position is an index and its index tested on a given predicate is true

match

default <T> T match(Function<String,T> keyFn,
                    IntFunction<T> indexFn)

Returns a new value applying pattern matching on the Position type.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the object returned

Parameters:

keyFn - function to apply if this Position is a key

indexFn - function to apply if this Position is an index

Returns:

an object of type T
