Enum Constant Detail

• NOT_AVAILABLE

  public static final JsonToken NOT_AVAILABLE

  NOT_AVAILABLE can be returned if JsonParser implementation can not currently return the requested token (usually next one), or even if any will be available, but that may be able to determine this in future. This is the case with non-blocking parsers -- they can not block to wait for more data to parse and must return something.

• START_OBJECT

  public static final JsonToken START_OBJECT

  START_OBJECT is returned when encountering '{' which signals starting of an Object value.

• END_OBJECT

  public static final JsonToken END_OBJECT

  END_OBJECT is returned when encountering '}' which signals ending of an Object value

• START_ARRAY

  public static final JsonToken START_ARRAY

  START_ARRAY is returned when encountering '[' which signals starting of an Array value

• END_ARRAY

  public static final JsonToken END_ARRAY

  END_ARRAY is returned when encountering ']' which signals ending of an Array value

• FIELD_NAME

  public static final JsonToken FIELD_NAME

  FIELD_NAME is returned when a String token is encountered as a field name (same lexical value, different function)

• VALUE_EMBEDDED_OBJECT

  public static final JsonToken VALUE_EMBEDDED_OBJECT

  Placeholder token returned when the input source has a concept of embedded Object that are not accessible as usual structure (of starting with START_OBJECT, having values, ending with END_OBJECT), but as "raw" objects.

  Note: this token is never returned by regular JSON readers, but only by readers that expose other kinds of source (like JsonNode-based JSON trees, Maps, Lists and such).

• VALUE_STRING

  public static final JsonToken VALUE_STRING

  VALUE_STRING is returned when a String token is encountered in value context (array element, field value, or root-level stand-alone value)

• VALUE_NUMBER_INT

  public static final JsonToken VALUE_NUMBER_INT

  VALUE_NUMBER_INT is returned when an integer numeric token is encountered in value context: that is, a number that does not have floating point or exponent marker in it (consists only of an optional sign, followed by one or more digits)

• VALUE_NUMBER_FLOAT

  public static final JsonToken VALUE_NUMBER_FLOAT

  VALUE_NUMBER_INT is returned when a numeric token other that is not an integer is encountered: that is, a number that does have floating point or exponent marker in it, in addition to one or more digits.

• VALUE_TRUE

  public static final JsonToken VALUE_TRUE

  VALUE_TRUE is returned when encountering literal "true" in value context

• VALUE_FALSE

  public static final JsonToken VALUE_FALSE

  VALUE_FALSE is returned when encountering literal "false" in value context

• VALUE_NULL

  public static final JsonToken VALUE_NULL

  VALUE_NULL is returned when encountering literal "null" in value context

Method Detail

• values

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

  Returns:

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

• valueOf

  public static JsonToken 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

• asString

  public String asString()

• asCharArray

  public char[] asCharArray()

• asByteArray

  public byte[] asByteArray()

• isNumeric

  public boolean isNumeric()

• isScalarValue

  public boolean isScalarValue()

  Method that can be used to check whether this token represents a valid non-structured value. This means all tokens other than Object/Array start/end markers all field names.
