XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType (Java SE 25 & JDK 25)
Description: declaration: module: java.xml, package: javax.xml.xpath, interface: XPathEvaluationResult, enum: XPathResultType
Keywords: javax.xml.xpath.XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType class

# Enum Class XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType

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

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable, Comparable<XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType>, Constable`

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.

  - ### ANY

    public static final XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType ANY
    Any type that represents any of the 5 other types listed below. Maps to `XPathEvaluationResult`.

  - ### BOOLEAN

  - ### NODE

    public static final XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType NODE
    The XPath 1.0 Node data type. Maps to `Node`.

- ## Method Details

  - ### values

    public static XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType[] values()
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.
    Returns:
      an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

  - ### valueOf

    public static XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType valueOf(String name)
    Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (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 class 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
