Enum LogicalType

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<LogicalType>

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.LogicalType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<LogicalType>, java.lang.constant.Constable

public enum LogicalType
extends Enum<LogicalType>

Set of logical types (or type categories, classes of classes), used for defining applicability of configuration like coercion configuration. Used instead to allow easier targeting of types than having to enumerate physical types (Class or JavaType).

Since:

2.12

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
Array	Array types of other values.
Binary	Binary data such as byte[] and ByteBuffer.
Boolean	Boolean, boolean, AtomicBoolean.
Collection	Collection values (and "Collection-like" for JVM languages and datatype libraries with semantically similar types)
DateTime	Date/time datatypes such as Date, Calendar.
Enum	Various Enum types.
Float	Basic floating-point numbers types like float, double, and matching wrapper types, BigDecimal.
Integer	Basic integral numbers types like short, int, long and matching wrapper types, BigInteger.
Map	Map values (and "Map-like" for JVM languages and datatype libraries with semantically similar types)
OtherScalar	Scalar types other than ones listed above: includes types like URL and UUID.
POJO	Types that are handled by default "set of key/value pairs" serialization, also known as "Beans".
Textual	Purely textual types, String and similar (but not types that are generally expressed as Strings in input).
Untyped	"Non-type", Type used to contained untyped, free-form content: maybe a "Tree" (sometimes called "AST"), or buffer of some kind, or even just nominal type of Object

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static LogicalType	fromClass(Class<?> raw, LogicalType defaultIfNotRecognized)	Helper method to use for figuring out logical type from physical type, in cases where caller wants a guess.
static LogicalType	valueOf(String name)	Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static LogicalType[]	values()	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Details

Array

public static final LogicalType Array

Array types of other values.

Note: excludes binary type byte[].

Collection

public static final LogicalType Collection

Collection values (and "Collection-like" for JVM languages and datatype libraries with semantically similar types)

Map

public static final LogicalType Map

Map values (and "Map-like" for JVM languages and datatype libraries with semantically similar types)

POJO

public static final LogicalType POJO

Types that are handled by default "set of key/value pairs" serialization, also known as "Beans".

In addition to user-defined types, also includes JDK types like:

• Throwable

Untyped

public static final LogicalType Untyped

"Non-type", Type used to contained untyped, free-form content: maybe a "Tree" (sometimes called "AST"), or buffer of some kind, or even just nominal type of Object

Integer

public static final LogicalType Integer

Basic integral numbers types like short, int, long and matching wrapper types, BigInteger.

Float

public static final LogicalType Float

Basic floating-point numbers types like float, double, and matching wrapper types, BigDecimal.

Boolean

public static final LogicalType Boolean

Boolean, boolean, AtomicBoolean.

Enum

public static final LogicalType Enum

Various Enum types.

Textual

public static final LogicalType Textual

Purely textual types, String and similar (but not types that are generally expressed as Strings in input).

Binary

public static final LogicalType Binary

Binary data such as byte[] and ByteBuffer.

DateTime

public static final LogicalType DateTime

Date/time datatypes such as Date, Calendar.

OtherScalar

public static final LogicalType OtherScalar

Scalar types other than ones listed above: includes types like URL and UUID.

Method Details

values

public static LogicalType[] values()

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static LogicalType 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

fromClass

public static LogicalType fromClass(Class<?> raw,
 LogicalType defaultIfNotRecognized)

Helper method to use for figuring out logical type from physical type, in cases where caller wants a guess. Note that introspection is not exhaustive and mostly covers basic Collection, Map and Enum cases; but not more specific types (for example datatype-provided extension types).

Parameters:

raw - Type-erased class to classify

defaultIfNotRecognized - if no type recognized, value to return (for example, null)
