Method Detail

getName

Name getName()

Get the name component of this segment.

Returns:

the segment's name

getIndex

int getIndex()

Get the index for this segment, which will be 1 by default.

Returns:

the index

hasIndex

boolean hasIndex()

Return whether this segment has an index.

Returns:

true if this segment has an index, or false otherwise.

isSelfReference

boolean isSelfReference()

Return whether this segment is a self-reference.

Returns:

true if the segment is a self-reference, or false otherwise.

isParentReference

boolean isParentReference()

Return whether this segment is a reference to a parent.

Returns:

true if the segment is a parent-reference, or false otherwise.

isIdentifier

boolean isIdentifier()

Return whether this segment is an identifier segment.

Returns:

true if the segment is an identifier segment, or false otherwise.

getUnencodedString

String getUnencodedString()

Get the raw string form of the segment using the no-op encoder. This is equivalent to calling getString(Path.NO_OP_ENCODER).

Returns:

the un-encoded string
