Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Map<K,V>	cast(Item item)	Converts a structurally typed item into a nominally typed Java object.
Map<K,V>	cast(Item item, Map<K,V> map)	Converts a structurally typed item into a nominally typed Java object based on the provided prototype object.
Item	mold(Map<K,V> map)	Converts a nominally typed Java object into its structurally typed equivalent.
Item	mold(Map<K,V> map, Item item)	Converts a nominally typed Java object into its structurally typed equivalent based on the provided prototype item.

MapForm

public MapForm(Class<?> type,
 Form<K> keyForm,
 Form<V> valForm)

Method Details

unit

public Map<K,V> unit()

Description copied from class: Form

Returns a default–possibly null–value of type T. Used as the fallback return value when coercing an invalid structural value.

Overrides:

unit in class Form<Map<K,V>>

type

public Class<?> type()

Description copied from class: Form

Returns the reified Class of type T.

Specified by:

type in class Form<Map<K,V>>

mold

public Item mold(Map<K,V> map,
 Item item)

Description copied from class: Form

Converts a nominally typed Java object into its structurally typed equivalent based on the provided prototype item. The passed-in item is assumed to be non-null. The returned Item must never be null.

Overrides:

mold in class Form<Map<K,V>>

mold

public Item mold(Map<K,V> map)

Description copied from class: Form

Converts a nominally typed Java object into its structurally typed equivalent. The returned Item must never be null.

Specified by:

mold in class Form<Map<K,V>>

cast

public Map<K,V> cast(Item item,
 Map<K,V> map)

Description copied from class: Form

Converts a structurally typed item into a nominally typed Java object based on the provided prototype object. The passed-in item is assumed to be non-null. The passed-in prototype object may be null.

Overrides:

cast in class Form<Map<K,V>>

cast

public Map<K,V> cast(Item item)

Description copied from class: Form

Converts a structurally typed item into a nominally typed Java object. The passed-in item is assumed to be non-null.

Specified by:

cast in class Form<Map<K,V>>
