Class ToStringStyle

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    RecursiveToStringStyle, StandardToStringStyle
    public abstract class ToStringStyle
extends Object
implements Serializable
    Controls String formatting for ToStringBuilder. The main public interface is always via ToStringBuilder.

    These classes are intended to be used as singletons. There is no need to instantiate a new style each time. A program will generally use one of the predefined constants on this class. Alternatively, the StandardToStringStyle class can be used to set the individual settings. Thus most styles can be achieved without subclassing.

    If required, a subclass can override as many or as few of the methods as it requires. Each object type (from boolean to long to Object to int[]) has its own methods to output it. Most have two versions, detail and summary.

    For example, the detail version of the array based methods will output the whole array, whereas the summary method will just output the array length.

    If you want to format the output of certain objects, such as dates, you must create a subclass and override a method. 

     public class MyStyle extends ToStringStyle {
   protected void appendDetail(StringBuffer buffer, String fieldName, Object value) {
     if (value instanceof Date) {
       value = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").format(value);
     }
     buffer.append(value);
   }
 }

      • DEFAULT_STYLE

        public static final ToStringStyle DEFAULT_STYLE
        The default toString style. Using the Person example from ToStringBuilder, the output would look like this: 
         Person@182f0db[name=John Doe,age=33,smoker=false]

      • MULTI_LINE_STYLE

        public static final ToStringStyle MULTI_LINE_STYLE
        The multi line toString style. Using the Person example from ToStringBuilder, the output would look like this: 
         Person@182f0db[
   name=John Doe
   age=33
   smoker=false
 ]

      • SHORT_PREFIX_STYLE

        public static final ToStringStyle SHORT_PREFIX_STYLE
        The short prefix toString style. Using the Person example from ToStringBuilder, the output would look like this: 
         Person[name=John Doe,age=33,smoker=false]
        Since:
        2.1

      • NO_CLASS_NAME_STYLE

        public static final ToStringStyle NO_CLASS_NAME_STYLE
        The no class name toString style. Using the Person example from ToStringBuilder, the output would look like this: 
         [name=John Doe,age=33,smoker=false]
        Since:
        3.4

      • JSON_STYLE

        public static final ToStringStyle JSON_STYLE
        The JSON toString style. Using the Person example from ToStringBuilder, the output would look like this: 
         {"name": "John Doe", "age": 33, "smoker": true}
        Note: Since field names are mandatory in JSON, this ToStringStyle will throw an UnsupportedOperationException if no field name is passed in while appending. Furthermore This ToStringStyle will only generate valid JSON if referenced objects also produce JSON when calling toString() on them.

                        String superToString)
        Appends to the toString the superclass toString.

        NOTE: It assumes that the toString has been created from the same ToStringStyle.

        A null superToString is ignored.

        Parameters:
        buffer - the StringBuffer to populate
        superToString - the super.toString()

        Appends to the toString another toString.

        NOTE: It assumes that the toString has been created from the same ToStringStyle.

        A null toString is ignored.

        Parameters:
        buffer - the StringBuffer to populate
        toString - the additional toString

        Appends to the toString an Object value, printing the full toString of the Object passed in.
        Parameters:
        buffer - the StringBuffer to populate

        Appends to the toString an Object, correctly interpreting its type.

        This method performs the main lookup by Class type to correctly route arrays, Collections, Maps and Objects to the appropriate method.

        Either detail or summary views can be specified.

        If a cycle is detected, an object will be appended with the Object.toString() format.

        fieldName - the field name, typically not used as already appended
        value - the value to add to the toString, not null
