Method Detail

getValueType

ValueType getValueType()

Returns type of the boxed value e.g., int or boolean.

Note: can be a string-type even if integer-type is expected (e.g., if Preserve.LexicalValues is set to TRUE).

Returns:

associated value type

getCharacters

char[] getCharacters()

Returns character array containing the values represented as String representation for XML.

Please consider using getCharacters(char[] cbuffer, int offset).

Returns:

string representation of value

getCharacters

void getCharacters(char[] cbuffer,
                   int offset)

Fills character array with the value represented as String

getCharactersLength

int getCharactersLength()

Length of string representation

Returns:

string length

toString

String toString(char[] cbuffer,
                int offset)

Returns string representation by making use of the passed character array.

Parameters:

cbuffer - character buffer

offset - character buffer offset

Returns:

String representation

toString

String toString()
