Method Details

asString

public String asString()

Description copied from interface: Literal

The string representation should be designed in such a way the a renderer can use it correctly in the given context of the literal, i.e. a literal containing a string should quote that string and escape all reserved characters.

Returns:

A string representation to be used literally in a cypher statement.

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from interface: Visitable

Most visitables will render themselves into a Cypher fragment preceded with the actual classname. The representation however is not cached - in contrast to the ones for full statements. Using toString is recommended for debugging purposes mainly, and not for production use.

The concrete classname has been prepended to help debugging and actually to discourage using fragments to build queries without explicitly rendering them, either as statement or going through the renderer on purpose.

Specified by:

toString in interface Visitable

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

A string representation of this visitable formatted as Classname{cypher=value}

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object
