Interface StringEntry

All Superinterfaces:

ConstantValueEntry, LoadableConstantEntry, PoolEntry

public sealed interface StringEntry
extends ConstantValueEntry

Models a CONSTANT_String_info structure, or a string constant, in the constant pool of a class file.

The use of a StringEntry is represented by a String. Conversions are through ConstantPoolBuilder.stringEntry(String) and stringValue().

A string entry is composite:

StringEntry(Utf8Entry utf8)

See Java Virtual Machine Specification:
