        This method is defined for the sake of Map conformity. Tests whether the provided value has a key assigned.
        Specified by:
        containsValue in interface Keys<K,V>
        Parameters:
        aValue - The value to test if a key references this value.
        Returns:
        True in case the given value is referenced by a key.
      • get

        public T get​(java.lang.Object aKey)
        Retrieves the element assigned to the given key.
        Specified by:
        get in interface Keys<K,V>
        Parameters:
        aKey - The key for which to get the element.
        Returns:
        The column in question or null if there is none such column.
      • keySet

        public java.util.Set<java.lang.String> keySet​()
        Retrieves a collection containing all the keys found in the elements of this collection.

      • values

        public java.util.Collection<T> values​()
        Returns a Collection view of the values related to the contained keys.
        Specified by:
        values in interface Keys<K,V>
        Returns:
        A Collection view of the values related to the contained keys.

        getDelimiter in interface org.refcodes.mixin.DelimiterAccessor
      • retrieveFrom

        public PathMap<T> retrieveFrom​(java.lang.String aFromPath)
        Extracts a new PathMap from the elements of this PathMap found below the "from-path". The sub-paths will be the root paths for the new PathMap. Given we have a value for path "/dog/cat" in the PathMap and we call PathMap.retrieveFrom(String) with "/dog", then the resulting PathMap will contain the path "/cat" for that value.
        Specified by:
        retrieveFrom in interface PathMap<T>
        Parameters:
        aFromPath - The path from where to start extracting the paths.

Given we have a value for path "/dog/cat" in the PathMap and we call PathMap.retrieveTo(String) with "/animals", then the resulting PathMap will contain the path "/animals/dog/cat" for that value.
        Specified by:
        retrieveTo in interface PathMap<T>
        Parameters:
        aToPath - The path where to relocate the paths of this PathMap to.
        Returns:
        The PathMap with the elements from the provided PathMap with accordingly relocated paths.
      • getType

        public java.lang.Class<T> getType​()
        Specified by:
        getType in interface org.refcodes.mixin.TypeAccessor<T>
      • toDataStructure

        public java.lang.Object toDataStructure​(java.lang.String aFromPath)
        Similar to the PathMap.toMap(String) method, though in case all the keys of a nested Map instance (applicable to the root Map as well) represent an array (as of PathMap.getArray( String)), then an array is generated where the index of each value in the Map is represented by the number representation of the Map's key for that value. The result is a data structure consisting of Map instances and arrays.
        Specified by:
        toDataStructure in interface PathMap<T>
        Parameters:
        aFromPath - The path below which the PathMap to be converted into a data structure.
        Returns:
        A data structure being a mixture of Map instances and arrays representing the data below the given path.
