public String getDescription()

A brief, natural language description of the condition that effectively communicates the intended semantics.

Returns:

An immutable object of type String that may be null.

getName

public Id getName()

A short name assigned to the expression to allow for multiple reuse of the expression in the context where it is defined.

Returns:

An immutable object of type Id that may be null.

getLanguage

public Code getLanguage()

The media type of the language for the expression.

Returns:

An immutable object of type Code that is non-null.

public String getExpression()

An expression in the specified language that returns a value.

Returns:

An immutable object of type String that may be null.

getReference

public Uri getReference()

A URI that defines where the expression is found.

Returns:

An immutable object of type Uri that may be null.

hasChildren

public boolean hasChildren()

Overrides:

hasChildren in class Element

accept

public void accept(String elementName,
                   int elementIndex,
                   Visitor visitor)

Description copied from interface: Visitable

Accept a Visitor and invoke the appropriate visit methods. A typical implementation would look like this:

 if (visitor.preVisit(this)) {
     visitor.visitStart(elementName, elementIndex, this);
     if (visitor.visit(elementName, elementIndex, this)) {
         // visit children
     }
     visitor.visitEnd(elementName, elementIndex, this);
     visitor.postVisit(this);
 }
 

Specified by:

accept in interface Visitable

Specified by:

accept in class AbstractVisitable

Parameters:

elementName - the name of the element in the context of this visit

elementIndex - the index of the element in a list or -1 if it is not contained within a List

visitor - the visitor to use

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

toBuilder

public Expression.Builder toBuilder()

Description copied from class: Element

Create a new Builder from the contents of this Element

Specified by:

toBuilder in class Element

builder

public static Expression.Builder builder()
