## Enum XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.Enum<XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType>
  - - javax.xml.xpath.XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `Serializable`, `Comparable<XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType>`
  Enclosing interface:
    XPathEvaluationResult<T>

      public static enum XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType
      extends Enum<XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType>

  XPathResultType represents possible return types of an XPath evaluation. Provided as an enum type, it allows the use of switch statement. At the same time, a mapping is provided between the original QName types in `XPathConstants` and class types used in the generic methods.

- - ### Enum Constant Detail

    - #### ANY

          public static final XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType ANY

      Any type that represents any of the 5 other types listed below. Maps to `XPathEvaluationResult`.

    - #### BOOLEAN

          public static final XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType BOOLEAN

      The XPath 1.0 boolean data type. Maps to Java `Boolean`.

    - #### NUMBER

          public static final XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType NUMBER

      The XPath 1.0 Number data type. Maps to Java `Number`. Of the subtypes of Number, only Double, Integer and Long are required.

    - #### STRING

          public static final XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType STRING

      The XPath 1.0 String data type. Maps to Java `String`.

    - #### NODESET

          public static final XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType NODESET

      The XPath 1.0 NodeSet data type. Maps to `NodeList`.

    - #### NODE

          public static final XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType NODE

      The XPath 1.0 NodeSet data type. Maps to `Node`.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### values

          public static XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType[] values()

      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

          for (XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType c : XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType.values())
              System.out.println(c);

      Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    - #### valueOf

          public static XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType valueOf​(String name)

      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null

    - #### getQNameType

          public static QName getQNameType​(Class<?> clsType)

      Returns the QName type as specified in `XPathConstants` that corresponds to the specified class type.
      Parameters:
        `clsType` - a class type that the enum type supports
      Returns:
        the QName type that matches with the specified class type, null if there is no match
