Interface JsonElement

All Known Implementing Classes:
JsonArray, JsonBoolean, JsonNull, JsonNumber, JsonObject, JsonString, TraceableJsonObject, UserJsonString
public interface JsonElement
Common Interface for all Json metamodel Elements (e.g., JsonArray, JsonBoolean,...). By default, all methods for checking the concrete type of a metamodel element (e.g., isJsonArray()) return false. In each concrete type, the respective method must be overridden to return true. This avoids instanceof expressions. Similarly, the getAs methods (e.g., getAsJsonArray()) return an error if they are called. In each concrete type, the respective method must be overridden to return "this". This avoids down casts to the concrete type.
