Enum InliningMode

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<InliningMode>

org.incenp.linkml.core.InliningMode

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<InliningMode>

public enum InliningMode
extends Enum<InliningMode>

Represents the various modes of “inlining” instances of a class, in serialisations that do support inlining (e.g. JSON, YAML).

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
DICT	Instances are inlined as a dictionary.
IRRELEVANT	Inlining is not relevant (typically because the type is not even a class).
LIST	Instances are inlined as a list.
NO_INLINING	Instances are not inlined, but serialised as references instead.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static InliningMode	valueOf(String name)	Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static InliningMode[]	values()	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Detail

IRRELEVANT

public static final InliningMode IRRELEVANT

Inlining is not relevant (typically because the type is not even a class).

NO_INLINING

public static final InliningMode NO_INLINING

Instances are not inlined, but serialised as references instead. This is only possible if their class defines a globally unique identifier.

LIST

public static final InliningMode LIST

Instances are inlined as a list.

DICT

public static final InliningMode DICT

Instances are inlined as a dictionary. This is only possible if their class defines an identifier (globally or locally unique).

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static InliningMode 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
