Class FlexBuffers.Key

java.lang.Object

com.google.flatbuffers.FlexBuffers.Key

Enclosing class:

FlexBuffers

public static class FlexBuffers.Key
extends Object

Represents a key element in the buffer. Keys are used to reference objects in a FlexBuffers.Map

Method Detail

empty

public static FlexBuffers.Key empty()

Return an empty FlexBuffers.Key

Returns:

empty FlexBuffers.Key

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Compare keys

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - other key to compare

Returns:

true if keys are the same

Object.hashCode(), HashMap

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from class: Object

Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by HashMap.

The general contract of hashCode is:

• Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
• If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
• It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the Object.equals(java.lang.Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.

As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class Object does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal address of the object into an integer, but this implementation technique is not required by the Java^TM programming language.)

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

a hash code value for this object.

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: Object

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
 

Returns:

a string representation of the object.

toString

public StringBuilder toString(StringBuilder sb)

Appends a text(JSON) representation to a `StringBuilder`
