Method Detail

charset

public static Function<JsonValue,Charset,JsonValueException> charset()

Returns the JSON string value as a character set used for byte encoding/decoding. If the JSON value is null, this function returns null.

Returns:

the character set represented by the string value.

Throws:

JsonValueException - if the JSON value is not a string or the character set specified is invalid.

duration

public static Function<JsonValue,Duration,JsonValueException> duration()

Returns the JSON string value as a Duration. If the JSON value is null, this method returns null.

Returns:

the duration represented by the string value.

Throws:

JsonValueException - if the JSON value is not a string or the duration specified is invalid.

enumConstant

public static <T extends Enum<T>> Function<JsonValue,T,JsonValueException> enumConstant(Class<T> type)

Returns the JSON string value as an enum constant of the specified enum type. The string value and enum constants are compared, ignoring case considerations. If the JSON value is null, this method returns null.

Type Parameters:

T - the enum type sub-class.

Parameters:

type - the enum type to match constants with the value.

Returns:

the enum constant represented by the string value.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if type does not represent an enum type. or if the JSON value does not match any of the enum's constants.

NullPointerException - if type is null.

file

public static Function<JsonValue,File,JsonValueException> file()

Returns the JSON string value as a File object. If the JSON value is null, this method returns null.

Returns:

a file represented by the string value.

Throws:

JsonValueException - if the JSON value is not a string.

pattern

public static Function<JsonValue,Pattern,JsonValueException> pattern()

Returns the JSON string value as a regular expression pattern. If the JSON value is null, this method returns null.

Returns:

the compiled regular expression pattern.

Throws:

JsonValueException - if the pattern is not a string or the value is not a valid regular expression pattern.

pointer

public static Function<JsonValue,JsonPointer,JsonValueException> pointer()

Returns the JSON string value as a JSON pointer. If the JSON value is null, this method returns null.

Returns:

the JSON pointer represented by the JSON value string.

Throws:

JsonValueException - if the JSON value is not a string or valid JSON pointer.

uri

public static Function<JsonValue,URI,JsonValueException> uri()

Returns the JSON string value as a uniform resource identifier. If the JSON value is null, this method returns null.

Returns:

the URI represented by the string value.

Throws:

JsonValueException - if the given string violates URI syntax.

url

public static Function<JsonValue,URL,JsonValueException> url()

Returns the JSON string value as a uniform resource locator. If the JSON value is null, this method returns null.

Returns:

the URL represented by the string value.

Throws:

JsonValueException - if the given string violates URL syntax.

uuid

public static Function<JsonValue,UUID,JsonValueException> uuid()

Returns the JSON string value as a universally unique identifier (UUID). If the JSON value is null, this method returns null.

Returns:

the UUID represented by the JSON value string.

Throws:

JsonValueException - if the JSON value is not a string or valid UUID.

listOf

public static <V,E extends Exception> Function<JsonValue,List<V>,E> listOf(Function<JsonValue,V,E> transformFunction)
                                                                    throws E extends Exception

Returns the JSON value as a List containing objects whose type (and value) is specified by a transformation function. If the value is null, this method returns null. It is up to to the transformation function to transform/enforce source types of the elements in the Json source collection. If any of the elements of the list are not of the appropriate type, or the type-transformation cannot occur, the exception specified by the transformation function is thrown.

Type Parameters:

V - the type of elements in this list

E - the type of exception thrown by the transformation function

Parameters:

transformFunction - a Function to transform an element of the JsonValue list to the desired type

Returns:

the list value, or null if no value.

Throws:

E - if the JSON value is not a List, not a Set, contains an unexpected type, or contains an element that cannot be transformed

NullPointerException - if transformFunction is null.

E extends Exception

setOf

public static <V,E extends Exception> Function<JsonValue,Set<V>,E> setOf(Function<JsonValue,V,E> transformFunction)
                                                                  throws E extends Exception

Returns the JSON value as a Set containing objects whose type (and value) is specified by a transformation function. If the value is null, this method returns null. It is up to to the transformation function to transform/enforce source types of the elements in the Json source collection. If called on an object which wraps a List, this method will drop duplicates performing element comparisons using equals/hashCode. If any of the elements of the collection are not of the appropriate type, or the type-transformation cannot occur, the exception specified by the transformation function is thrown.

Type Parameters:

V - the type of elements in this set

E - the type of exception thrown by the transformation function

Parameters:

transformFunction - a Function to transform an element of the JsonValue set to the desired type

Returns:

the set value, or null if no value.

Throws:

E - if the JSON value is not a Set, contains an unexpected type, or contains an element that cannot be transformed

NullPointerException - if transformFunction is null.

E extends Exception

setOf

public static <V> Function<JsonValue,Set<V>,JsonValueException> setOf(Class<V> type)

Returns the JSON value as a Set containing objects whose type (and value) is specified by the parameter type. If the value is null, this method returns null. If called on an object which wraps a List, this method will drop duplicates performing element comparisons using equals/hashCode. If any of the elements of the collection are not of the appropriate type, or the type-transformation cannot occur, JsonValueException is thrown.

Type Parameters:

V - the type of elements in this set

Parameters:

type - a Class that specifies the desired type of each element in the resultant JsonValue set

Returns:

the set value, or null if no value.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if type is null.

JsonValueException - if the elements of the collection cannot be cast as type.

deepTransformBy

public static Function<JsonValue,JsonValue,JsonValueException> deepTransformBy(Function<JsonValue,?,JsonValueException> function)

Returns the JSON value as the result of a deep JsonValue object-traversal, applying the provided transform function to each element.

Parameters:

function - a Function that applies the desired element transformation in the resultant JsonValue set

Returns:

the transformed JsonValue

Throws:

JsonValueException - if the elements of the JsonValue cannot be transformed by function.

identity

public static Function<JsonValue,JsonValue,JsonValueException> identity()

Returns an identity function that will copy the input JsonValue.

Returns:

an identity function that will copy the input JsonValue.

Throws:

JsonValueException - if an error occurred while copying the input.
