Method Detail

self

N self()

Get a correctly typed instance of this node.

Returns:

the node type

Since:

4.0.0

appendListNode

N appendListNode()

Gets a new child node created as the next entry in the list.

Specified by:

appendListNode in interface ConfigurationNode

Returns:

a new child created as the next entry in the list when it is attached

copy

N copy()

Creates a deep copy of this node.

If this node has child nodes (is a list or map), the child nodes will also be copied. This action is performed recursively.

The resultant node will (initially) contain the same value(s) as this node, and will therefore be equal, however, changes made to the original will not be reflected in the copy, and vice versa.

The actual scalar values that back the configuration will not be copied - only the node structure that forms the configuration. This is not a problem in most cases, as the scalar values stored in configurations are usually immutable. (e.g. strings, numbers, booleans).

Specified by:

copy in interface ConfigurationNode

Returns:

a copy of this node

node

N node(Object... path)

Gets the node at the given (relative) path, possibly traversing multiple levels of nodes.

This is the main method used to navigate through the configuration.

The path parameter effectively consumes an array of keys, which locate the unique position of a given node within the structure. Each element will navigate one level down in the configuration hierarchy

A node is always returned by this method. If the given node does not exist in the structure, a virtual node will be returned which represents the position.

Specified by:

node in interface ConfigurationNode

Parameters:

path - the path to fetch the node at

Returns:

the node at the given path, possibly virtual

node

N node(Iterable<?> path)

Gets the node at the given (relative) path, possibly traversing multiple levels of nodes.

This is the main method used to navigate through the configuration.

The path parameter effectively consumes an array of keys, which locate the unique position of a given node within the structure.

A node is always returned by this method. If the given node does not exist in the structure, a virtual node will be returned which represents the position.

Specified by:

node in interface ConfigurationNode

Parameters:

path - the path to fetch the node at

Returns:

the node at the given path, possibly virtual

parent

@Nullable N parent()

Gets the parent of this node.

If this node is currently virtual, this method's result may be inaccurate.

Specified by:

parent in interface ConfigurationNode

Returns:

the nodes parent

from

N from(ConfigurationNode other)

Apply all data from other to this node, overwriting any existing data.

Specified by:

from in interface ConfigurationNode

Parameters:

other - source node

Returns:

this node

mergeFrom

N mergeFrom(ConfigurationNode other)

Set all the values from the given node that are not present in this node to their values in the provided node.

Map keys will be merged. Lists and scalar values will be replaced.

Specified by:

mergeFrom in interface ConfigurationNode

Parameters:

other - the node to merge values from

Returns:

this node

set

N set(@Nullable Object value)
throws SerializationException

Set this node's value to the given value.

The value type will be taken from the provided value's class and used to determine a serializer. To set a value of a parameterized type, the parameters must be explicitly specified.

Specified by:

set in interface ConfigurationNode

Parameters:

value - the value to set

Returns:

this node

Throws:

SerializationException

set

default N set(Type type,
              @Nullable Object value)
       throws SerializationException

Set this node's value to the given value.

If the provided value is a Collection or a Map, it will be unwrapped into the appropriate configuration node structure.

This method will also perform serialization using the appropriate TypeSerializer for the given type, or casting if no type serializer is found.

This method will fail if a raw type (i.e. a parameterized type without its type parameters) is passed.

Because this method accepts a non-parameterized Type parameter, it has no compile-time type checking. The variants that take TypeToken and ConfigurationNode.set(Class, Object) should be preferred where possible.

Specified by:

set in interface ConfigurationNode

Parameters:

type - the type to use for serialization type information

value - the value to set

Returns:

this node

Throws:

SerializationException - if the value fails to be converted to the requested type. No change will be made to the node.

                  @Nullable V value)
           throws SerializationException

Description copied from interface: ConfigurationNode

Set this node's value to the given value.

This method will fail if a raw type (i.e. a parameterized type without its type parameters) is passed.

Specified by:

set in interface ConfigurationNode

Type Parameters:

V - the type to serialize to

Parameters:

type - the type to use for serialization type information
