Package org.incenp.linkml.ext

Enum DataFormat

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<DataFormat>

org.incenp.linkml.ext.DataFormat

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<DataFormat>

public enum DataFormat
extends Enum<DataFormat>

The serialisation formats supported by the YAMLLoader class.

LinkML-Java currently only supports JSON and YAML, so this enumeration is a bit “overkill” for now. But more formats will almost certainly be added in the future (at the very least RDF formats).

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static DataFormat 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
