public interface GroundedValue
extends Sequence

A value that exists in memory and that can be directly addressed

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	effectiveBooleanValue() Get the effective boolean value of this sequence
int	getLength() Get the size of the value (the number of items)
String	getStringValue() Get the string value of this sequence.
CharSequence	getStringValueCS() Get the string value of this sequence.
Item	head() Get the first item of the sequence.
Item	itemAt(int n) Get the n'th item in the value, counting from 0
UnfailingIterator	iterate() Get an iterator over all the items in the sequence.
GroundedValue	reduce() Reduce the sequence to its simplest form.
GroundedValue	subsequence(int start, int length) Get a subsequence of the value

Method Detail

iterate

UnfailingIterator iterate()

Get an iterator over all the items in the sequence. This differs from the superclass method in not allowing an exception.

Specified by:

iterate in interface Sequence

Returns:

an iterator over all the items

itemAt

Item itemAt(int n)

Get the n'th item in the value, counting from 0

Parameters:

n - the index of the required item, with 0 representing the first item in the sequence

Returns:

the n'th item if it exists, or null otherwise

head

Item head()

Get the first item of the sequence. This differs from the parent interface in not allowing an exception

Specified by:

head in interface Sequence

Returns:

the first item of the sequence, or null if the sequence is empty

subsequence

GroundedValue subsequence(int start,
                        int length)

Get a subsequence of the value

Parameters:

start - the index of the first item to be included in the result, counting from zero. A negative value is taken as zero. If the value is beyond the end of the sequence, an empty sequence is returned

length - the number of items to be included in the result. Specify Integer.MAX_VALUE to get the subsequence up to the end of the base sequence. If the value is negative, an empty sequence is returned. If the value goes off the end of the sequence, the result returns items up to the end of the sequence

Returns:

the required subsequence.

getLength

int getLength()

Get the size of the value (the number of items)

Returns:

the number of items in the sequence

effectiveBooleanValue

boolean effectiveBooleanValue()
                              throws XPathException

Get the effective boolean value of this sequence

Returns:

the effective boolean value

Throws:

XPathException - if the sequence has no effective boolean value (for example a sequence of two integers)

getStringValue

String getStringValue()
                      throws XPathException

Get the string value of this sequence. The string value of an item is the result of applying the string() function. The string value of a sequence is the space-separated result of applying the string-join() function using a single space as the separator

Returns:

the string value of the sequence.

Throws:

XPathException - if the sequence contains items that have no string value (for example, function items)

getStringValueCS

CharSequence getStringValueCS()
                              throws XPathException

Get the string value of this sequence. The string value of an item is the result of applying the string() function. The string value of a sequence is the space-separated result of applying the string-join() function using a single space as the separator

Returns:

the string value of the sequence.

Throws:

XPathException - if the sequence contains items that have no string value (for example, function items)

reduce

GroundedValue reduce()

Reduce the sequence to its simplest form. If the value is an empty sequence, the result will be EmptySequence.getInstance(). If the value is a single atomic value, the result will be an instance of AtomicValue. If the value is a single item of any other kind, the result will be an instance of One. Otherwise, the result will typically be unchanged.

Returns:

the simplified sequence
