Interface PropertyState

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractPropertyState

public interface PropertyState

Immutable property state. A property consists of a name and a JSON-encoded value.

Equality and hash codes

Two property states are considered equal if and only if their names and encoded values match. The Object.equals(Object) method needs to be implemented so that it complies with this definition. And while property states are not meant for use as hash keys, the Object.hashCode() method should still be implemented according to this equality contract.
