Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static Set<Class<?>>	allPrimitiveTypes()	Returns an immutable set of all nine primitive types (including void).
static Set<Class<?>>	allWrapperTypes()	Returns an immutable set of all nine primitive-wrapper types (including Void).
static boolean	isWrapperType(Class<?> type)	Returns true if type is one of the nine primitive-wrapper types, such as Integer.
static <T> Class<T>	unwrap(Class<T> type)	Returns the corresponding primitive type of type if it is a wrapper type; otherwise returns type itself.
static <T> Class<T>	wrap(Class<T> type)	Returns the corresponding wrapper type of type if it is a primitive type; otherwise returns type itself.

Method Details

allPrimitiveTypes

public static Set<Class<?>> allPrimitiveTypes()

Returns an immutable set of all nine primitive types (including void). Note that a simpler way to test whether a Class instance is a member of this set is to call Class.isPrimitive().

Since:

3.0

allWrapperTypes

public static Set<Class<?>> allWrapperTypes()

Returns an immutable set of all nine primitive-wrapper types (including Void).

Since:

3.0

isWrapperType

public static boolean isWrapperType(Class<?> type)

Returns true if type is one of the nine primitive-wrapper types, such as Integer.

• Class.isPrimitive()

wrap

public static <T> Class<T> wrap(Class<T> type)

Returns the corresponding wrapper type of type if it is a primitive type; otherwise returns type itself. Idempotent.

     wrap(int.class) == Integer.class
     wrap(Integer.class) == Integer.class
     wrap(String.class) == String.class
 

unwrap

public static <T> Class<T> unwrap(Class<T> type)

Returns the corresponding primitive type of type if it is a wrapper type; otherwise returns type itself. Idempotent.

     unwrap(Integer.class) == int.class
     unwrap(int.class) == int.class
     unwrap(String.class) == String.class
