Enum WhiteSpaceProcessing

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<WhiteSpaceProcessing>

com.topologi.diffx.config.WhiteSpaceProcessing

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<WhiteSpaceProcessing>

public enum WhiteSpaceProcessing
extends Enum<WhiteSpaceProcessing>

Defines how white spaces should be processed.

White space processing can have functional implications at all stages of diffing, including when loading and formatting.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
COMPARE White spaces should be preserved throughout the process and compared.
IGNORE All white spaces should be completely ignored, this is the most efficient processing.
PRESERVE White spaces should be preserved, that is they will be loaded and returned during formatting, but the algorithm can consider them equivalent and will not report differences between white spaces.

Method Summary

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

Enum Constant Detail

IGNORE

public static final WhiteSpaceProcessing IGNORE

All white spaces should be completely ignored, this is the most efficient processing.

PRESERVE

public static final WhiteSpaceProcessing PRESERVE

White spaces should be preserved, that is they will be loaded and returned during formatting, but the algorithm can consider them equivalent and will not report differences between white spaces.

COMPARE

public static final WhiteSpaceProcessing COMPARE

White spaces should be preserved throughout the process and compared. All white space differences will be reported by the algorithm. This is the most costly processing.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static WhiteSpaceProcessing 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
