      extended by com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonFormat.Shape
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<JsonFormat.Shape>
Enclosing class:
JsonFormat

public static enum JsonFormat.Shape
extends Enum<JsonFormat.Shape>

Value enumeration used for indicating preferred Shape; translates loosely to JSON types, with some extra values to indicate less precise choices (i.e. allowing one of multiple actual shapes)


Enum Constant Summary
ANY
          Marker enum value that indicates "default" (or "whatever") choice; needed since Annotations can not have null values for enums.
ARRAY
          Value that indicates that (JSON) Array type should be used.
BOOLEAN
          Value that indicates that (JSON) boolean type (true, false) should be used.
NUMBER
          Value that indicates that a numeric (JSON) type should be used (but does not specify whether integer or floating-point representation should be used)
NUMBER_FLOAT
          Value that indicates that floating-point numeric type should be used
NUMBER_INT
          Value that indicates that integer number type should be used (and not NUMBER_FLOAT).
OBJECT
          Value that indicates that (JSON) Object type should be used.
SCALAR
          Value that indicates shape should not be structural (that is, not ARRAY or OBJECT, but can be any other shape.
STRING
          Value that indicates that (JSON) String type should be used.
 
Method Summary
 boolean isNumeric()

static JsonFormat.Shape valueOf(String name)
          Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static JsonFormat.Shape[] values()
          Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Method Detail

values

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

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

valueOf

public static JsonFormat.Shape 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

isNumeric

public boolean isNumeric()

isStructured

public boolean isStructured()
