Strictness (Gson 2.12.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<Strictness>
- - com.google.gson.Strictness

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Strictness>
```
public enum Strictness
extends Enum<Strictness>
```
Modes that indicate how strictly a JSON reader or writer follows the syntax laid out in the RFC 8259 JSON specification.
You can look at JsonReader.setStrictness(Strictness) to see how the strictness affects the JsonReader and you can look at JsonWriter.setStrictness(Strictness) to see how the strictness affects the JsonWriter.

Since:

2.11.0

```
public static Strictness[] 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 (Strictness c : Strictness.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static Strictness 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
