Enum Matching

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<Matching>

groovy.json.Matching

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Matching>

public enum Matching
extends Enum<Matching>

The Matching enum provides three values used by the lexer, to say if the content currently read on the reader is matching a certain token, whether it's a possible match (ie. more input needed for fully matching the pattern), or if it doesn't match at all.

Since:

1.8.0

Enum Constant Detail

NO

public static final Matching NO

The current read input cannot match the pattern

POSSIBLE

public static final Matching POSSIBLE

The current read input can match the pattern if more input is provided

YES

public static final Matching YES

The current read input matches the pattern

Method Detail

values

public static Matching[] 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 (Matching c : Matching.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Matching 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
