Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
T	cast(Item item)	Converts a structurally typed item into a nominally typed Java object.
T	cast(Item item, T object)	Converts a structurally typed item into a nominally typed Java object based on the provided prototype object.
Item	mold(T object)	Converts a nominally typed Java object into its structurally typed equivalent.
Item	mold(T object, Item item)	Converts a nominally typed Java object into its structurally typed equivalent based on the provided prototype item.
String	tag()	Returns the key of the tag attribute that distinguishes structures of this Form; returns null if this Form has no distinguishing tag attribute.
Form<T>	tag(String tag)	Returns a version of this Form that requires a head Attr with the given tag name.
Class<?>	type()	Returns the reified Class of type T.
T	unit()	Returns a default–possibly null–value of type T.
Form<T>	unit(T unit)	Returns a version of this Form with the given unit value.

Method Details

tag

public String tag()

Description copied from class: Form

Returns the key of the tag attribute that distinguishes structures of this Form; returns null if this Form has no distinguishing tag attribute. Used to accelerate distrcrimination of polymorphic structural types with nominal type hints.

Overrides:

tag in class Form<T>

tag

public Form<T> tag(String tag)

Description copied from class: Form

Returns a version of this Form that requires a head Attr with the given tag name.

Overrides:

tag in class Form<T>

unit

public T 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<T>

unit

public Form<T> unit(T unit)

Description copied from class: Form

Returns a version of this Form with the given unit value.

Overrides:

unit in class Form<T>

type

public Class<?> type()

Description copied from class: Form

Returns the reified Class of type T.

Specified by:

type in class Form<T>

mold

public Item mold(T object,
 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<T>

mold

public Item mold(T object)

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<T>

cast

public T cast(Item item,
 T object)

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<T>

cast

public T 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<T>
