        The category of the entity.

        If the service returns an enum value that is not available in the current SDK version, category will return EntityType.UNKNOWN_TO_SDK_VERSION. The raw value returned by the service is available from categoryAsString().

        Returns:
        The category of the entity.

      • type

        public final EntitySubType type()

        Describes the specific type of entity with category of entities.

        If the service returns an enum value that is not available in the current SDK version, type will return EntitySubType.UNKNOWN_TO_SDK_VERSION. The raw value returned by the service is available from typeAsString().

        Returns:

      • hasTraits

        public final boolean hasTraits()
        For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the Traits property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.
      • traits

        public final List<Trait> traits()

        Contextual information for the entity.

        Attempts to modify the collection returned by this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

        This method will never return null. If you would like to know whether the service returned this field (so that you can differentiate between null and empty), you can use the hasTraits() method.

        Returns:
        Contextual information for the entity.
      • hasAttributes

        public final boolean hasAttributes()
        For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the Attributes property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.
      • attributes

        public final List<Attribute> attributes()

        The extracted attributes that relate to this entity.

        Attempts to modify the collection returned by this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

        This method will never return null. If you would like to know whether the service returned this field (so that you can differentiate between null and empty), you can use the hasAttributes() method.

        Returns:
        The extracted attributes that relate to this entity.
