All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<ChangeType>, java.lang.constant.Constable

public enum ChangeType
extends Enum<ChangeType>

Enumerates the types of changes that can be detected between two XML documents.

Change types are classified as either semantic (affecting the meaning of the XML) or formatting-only (affecting only the presentation). This classification enables filtering to focus on meaningful changes while ignoring formatting noise.

Since:

1.3.0

Method Details

values

public static ChangeType[] values()

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static ChangeType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (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 type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

isSemantic

public boolean isSemantic()

Returns whether this change type represents a semantic change that affects the meaning of the XML document.

Returns:

true if the change is semantic, false if formatting-only

isFormattingOnly

public boolean isFormattingOnly()

Returns whether this change type represents a formatting-only change that does not affect the semantic meaning of the XML document.

Returns:

true if the change is formatting-only, false if semantic
