Enum Class WhiteSpaceProcessing

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<WhiteSpaceProcessing>

com.topologi.diffx.config.WhiteSpaceProcessing

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<WhiteSpaceProcessing>, Constable

public enum WhiteSpaceProcessing
extends Enum<WhiteSpaceProcessing>

Defines how white spaces should be processed.

White space processing can have functional implications at all stages of diffing, including when loading and formatting.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
COMPARE	White spaces should be preserved throughout the process and compared.
IGNORE	All white spaces should be completely ignored, this is the most efficient processing.
PRESERVE	White spaces should be preserved, that is they will be loaded and returned during formatting, but the algorithm can consider them equivalent and will not report differences between white spaces.

Enum Constant Details

IGNORE

public static final WhiteSpaceProcessing IGNORE

All white spaces should be completely ignored, this is the most efficient processing.

PRESERVE

public static final WhiteSpaceProcessing PRESERVE

White spaces should be preserved, that is they will be loaded and returned during formatting, but the algorithm can consider them equivalent and will not report differences between white spaces.

COMPARE

public static final WhiteSpaceProcessing COMPARE

White spaces should be preserved throughout the process and compared. All white space differences will be reported by the algorithm. This is the most costly processing.

Method Details

values

public static WhiteSpaceProcessing[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static WhiteSpaceProcessing valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
