SwiftMessage (Prowide Core API Reference)

- com.prowidesoftware.swift.model.SwiftMessage

All Implemented Interfaces:

JsonSerializable, java.io.Serializable
```
public class SwiftMessage
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, JsonSerializable
```
Base class for swift messages.
This class is a generic data structure container for SWIFT messages.
This is a low level java representation of an MT. If you are looking for a class more suitable to be persisted see MtSwiftMessage
Instances of this class may have a list of unparsed texts (UnparsedTextList). For easy access, methods have been created that first ensure the lists exists (the real object is created and then call the base method).
However, not all the base list methods have been implemented. If you need to use not exposed functionality, retrieve the underlying list with (see getUnparsedTexts method).

  - parse
```
public static SwiftMessage parse(java.lang.String fin)
                          throws java.io.IOException
```
    Parses a the string content into a SwiftMessage.
    If the file contains more than a message it will parse the first one. If the string is empty, does not contain any MT message, the message type is not set or an error occurs reading and parsing the message content; this method returns null.
    The implementation uses the default parser behavior which is lenient and will do a best effort to read as much from the message content as possible regardless of the content and block boundaries being valid or not. For instance, it will read the headers even if the value length is incorrect, and it will read the text block (block 4) even if it is missing the closing hyphen and bracket. For more options check SwiftParser.setConfiguration(SwiftParserConfiguration)
    
    Parameters:
    
    fin - string a string containing a swift MT message
    
    Returns:
    
    parser message or null if string content could not be parsed
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - if an error occurs in the parser during reading
