Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	equals(Object other) Check it this IRI is equal to another IRI.
String	getIRIString() Return the IRI encoded as a native Unicode String. The returned string must not include URL-encoding to escape non-ASCII characters.

Method Detail

getIRIString

String getIRIString()

Return the IRI encoded as a native Unicode String.
The returned string must not include URL-encoding to escape non-ASCII characters.

Returns:

The IRI encoded as a native Unicode String.

equals

boolean equals(Object other)

Check it this IRI is equal to another IRI.

IRI equality: Two IRIs are equal if and only if they are equivalent under Simple String Comparison according to section 5.1 of [RFC3987]. Further normalization MUST NOT be performed when comparing IRIs for equality.

Two IRI instances are equal if and only if their getIRIString() are equal. Implementations MUST also override hashCode() so that two equal IRIs produce the same hash code.

Specified by:

equals in interface RDFTerm

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

other - Another object

Returns:

true if other is an IRI and is equal to this

See Also:

Object.equals(Object)

hashCode

int hashCode()

Calculate a hash code for this IRI.

The returned hash code MUST be equal to the String.hashCode() of the getIRIString().

This method MUST be implemented in conjunction with equals(Object) so that two equal IRIs produce the same hash code.

Specified by:

hashCode in interface RDFTerm

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

a hash code value for this IRI.
