@InternalApi public interface Token
 The available implementations of Token are primarily guided by the implementation of the tokenization
 and the needs of the parser and included visitors. It does not distinguish all types of tokens. For example there is
 QuotedIdentifierToken because the tokenization needs handling for
 quoted identifiers, while a normal identifier is a GenericToken, because that is handled by the fallback
 tokenization after checking for all other types. On the other hand, open and close curly braces, square brackets and
 parentheses each have their own type, as the parser may need this to find nested contexts.
 
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description | 
|---|---|
| void | appendTo(java.lang.StringBuilder sb)Appends the current token to the supplied String builder. | 
| boolean | equalsIgnoreCase(java.lang.String tokenText)Case-insensitive equality of this tokens text using an equivalent of  String.equalsIgnoreCase(String). | 
| boolean | isValidIdentifier()Detects if the token is valid as an identifier (ignoring length constraints). | 
| boolean | isWhitespaceOrComment() | 
| int | length()Token text length. | 
| int | position()Token position. | 
| java.lang.String | text()Token text. | 
| java.lang.CharSequence | textAsCharSequence()Token text as  CharSequence. | 
java.lang.String text()
textAsCharSequence()java.lang.CharSequence textAsCharSequence()
CharSequence.
 
 An basic implementation should return text(). As an optimization, implementations may return their
 contained CharSequence to avoid unnecessary conversion to string.
 
text()void appendTo(java.lang.StringBuilder sb)
 A basic implementation should do sb.append(text()) or sb.append(textAsCharSequence()).
 
sb - String builder to append toint position()
int length()
boolean isWhitespaceOrComment()
true if this token is whitespace or a comment, false for all other tokensboolean equalsIgnoreCase(java.lang.String tokenText)
String.equalsIgnoreCase(String).
 
 A basic implementation should do text().equalsIgnoreCase(tokenText).
 
tokenText - Token text to comparetrue if tokenText is equal - ignoring case - to the text of this token,
 false otherwiseboolean isValidIdentifier()
 This will always return false for ReservedToken or other
 specialised tokens (e.g. OperatorToken with IS or LIKE)
 that can't occur as an identifier.
 
true if the token is valid as an identifier, false otherwiseCopyright © 2001-2022 Jaybird (Firebird JDBC/JCA) team. All rights reserved.
