Enum Class DiffAlgorithm

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<DiffAlgorithm>

com.lightstreamer.adapters.remote.DiffAlgorithm

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<DiffAlgorithm>, Constable

public enum DiffAlgorithm
extends Enum<DiffAlgorithm>

Enumerative class that lists the available "diff" algorithms that can be specified in ItemEventListener.declareFieldDiffOrder(java.lang.String, java.util.Map<java.lang.String, com.lightstreamer.adapters.remote.DiffAlgorithm[]>). Such algorithms can be used by the Server to compute the difference between a value and the previous one in order to send the client this difference, for "delta delivery" purpose.
More algorithms may be added to the enumerative class as their support is added to the Server.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
DIFF_MATCH_PATCH	Computes the difference between two values with Google's "diff-match-patch" algorithm (the result is then serialized with the custom "TLCP-diff" format).
JSONPATCH	Computes the difference between two values that are valid JSON string representations in JSON Patch format.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static DiffAlgorithm	valueOf(String name)	Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name.
static DiffAlgorithm[]	values()	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Details

JSONPATCH

public static final DiffAlgorithm JSONPATCH

Computes the difference between two values that are valid JSON string representations in JSON Patch format.
Note that this setting is ignored for the mandatory fields for COMMAND Mode named "key" and "command".

DIFF_MATCH_PATCH

public static final DiffAlgorithm DIFF_MATCH_PATCH

Computes the difference between two values with Google's "diff-match-patch" algorithm (the result is then serialized with the custom "TLCP-diff" format). This algorithm applies to any strings, only provided that they don't contain UTF-16 surrogate pairs.

Method Details

values

public static DiffAlgorithm[] 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 DiffAlgorithm 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
