All Implemented Interfaces:
Comparable<AstNode>, Iterable<Node>

public class StringLiteral extends AstNode
AST node for a single- or double-quoted string literal. Node type is Token.STRING.

      public StringLiteral()
    • StringLiteral

      public StringLiteral(int pos)
    • StringLiteral

      public StringLiteral(int pos, int len)
      Creates a string literal node at the specified position.
      Parameters:
      len - the length including the enclosing quotes
  • Method Details

    • getValue

      public String getValue()
      Returns the node's value: the parsed string without the enclosing quotes
      Returns:
      the node's value, a String of unescaped characters that includes the delimiter quotes.
    • getValue

      public String getValue(boolean includeQuotes)
      Returns the string value, optionally including the enclosing quotes.
    • setValue

      public void setValue(String value)
      Sets the node's value. Do not include the enclosing quotes.
      Parameters:
      value - the node's value
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - } if value is null
    • getQuoteCharacter

      public char getQuoteCharacter()
      Returns the character used as the delimiter for this string.
    • setQuoteCharacter

      public void setQuoteCharacter(char c)
    • toSource

      public String toSource(int depth)
      Description copied from class: AstNode
      Emits source code for this node. Callee is responsible for calling this function recursively on children, incrementing indent as appropriate.

      Note: if the parser was in error-recovery mode, some AST nodes may have null children that are expected to be non-null when no errors are present. In this situation, the behavior of the toSource method is undefined: toSource implementations may assume that the AST node is error-free, since it is intended to be invoked only at runtime after a successful parse.

      Specified by:
      toSource in class AstNode
      Parameters:
      depth - the current recursion depth, typically beginning at 0 when called on the root node.
    • visit

      public void visit(NodeVisitor v)
      Visits this node. There are no children to visit.
      Specified by:
      visit in class AstNode
      Parameters:
      v - the object to call with this node and its children
