  • Method Details

    • getKeys

      Set<String> getKeys(boolean deep)
      Gets a set containing all keys in this section.

      If deep is set to true, then this will contain all the keys within any child ConfigurationSections (and their children, etc). These will be in a valid path notation for you to use.

      If deep is set to false, then this will contain only the keys of any direct children, and not their own children.

      Parameters:
      deep - Whether or not to get a deep list, as opposed to a shallow list.
      Returns:
      Set of keys contained within this ConfigurationSection.

    • getValues

      Map<String,Object> getValues(boolean deep)
      Gets a Map containing all keys and their values for this section.

      If deep is set to true, then this will contain all the keys and values within any child ConfigurationSections (and their children, etc). These keys will be in a valid path notation for you to use.

      If deep is set to false, then this will contain only the keys and values of any direct children, and not their own children.

      Parameters:
      deep - Whether or not to get a deep list, as opposed to a shallow list.
      Returns:
      Map of keys and values of this section.

    • getMapValues

      Map<String,Object> getMapValues(boolean deep)
      Gets a Map containing all keys and their values for this section.

      If deep is set to true, then this will contain all the keys and values within any child Maps (and their children, etc). These keys will be in a valid path notation for you to use.

      If deep is set to false, then this will contain only the keys and values of any direct children, and not their own children.

      Parameters:
      deep - Whether or not to get a deep list, as opposed to a shallow list.
      Returns:
      Map of keys and values of this section.

    • contains

      Checks if this ConfigurationSection has a value set for the given path.

      If the value for the requested path does not exist but a default value has been specified, this will still return false.

      Parameters:
      path - Path to check for existence.

      Note that values loaded from a YAML file are parsed as String, never as Character, so this will only return true for values set programmatically with a char value, like set(path, 'a'). To read a char value from a file use getCharacter(String), which converts single-character strings and numeric code points to a char.

      List<Character> getCharacterList(String path)
      Gets the requested List of Character by path.

      If the List does not exist but a default value has been specified, this will return the default value. If the List does not exist and no default value was specified, this will return an empty List.

      This method will attempt to cast any values into a Character if possible, but may miss any values out if they are not compatible.

      Parameters:
      path - Path of the List to get.
      Returns:
      Requested List of Character.

    • getShortList

      List<Short> getShortList(String path)
      Gets the requested List of Short by path.

      If the List does not exist but a default value has been specified, this will return the default value. If the List does not exist and no default value was specified, this will return an empty List.

      This method will attempt to cast any values into a Short if possible, but may miss any values out if they are not compatible.

      Parameters:
      path - Path of the List to get.
      Returns:
      Requested List of Short.

    • getMapList

      List<Map<?,?>> getMapList(String path)
      Gets the requested List of Maps by path.

      If the List does not exist but a default value has been specified, this will return the default value. If the List does not exist and no default value was specified, this will return an empty List.

      This method will attempt to cast any values into a Map if possible, but may miss any values out if they are not compatible.

      Parameters:
      path - Path of the List to get.
      Returns:
      Requested List of Maps.

    • getConfigurationSection

      ConfigurationSection getConfigurationSection(String path)
      Gets the requested ConfigurationSection by path.

      If the ConfigurationSection does not exist but a default value has been specified, this will return the default value. If the ConfigurationSection does not exist and no default value was specified, this will return null.

      Parameters:
      path - Path of the ConfigurationSection to get.
      Returns:
      Requested ConfigurationSection.

    • isConfigurationSection

      boolean isConfigurationSection(String path)
      Checks if the specified path is a ConfigurationSection.

      If the path exists but is not a ConfigurationSection, this will return false. If the path does not exist, this will return false. If the path does not exist but a default value has been specified, this will check if that default value is a ConfigurationSection and return appropriately.

      Parameters:
      path - Path of the ConfigurationSection to check.
      Returns:
      Whether or not the specified path is a ConfigurationSection.

    • getDefaultSection

      ConfigurationSection getDefaultSection()
      Gets the equivalent ConfigurationSection from the default Configuration defined in getRoot().

      If the root contains no defaults, or the defaults doesn't contain a value for this path, or the value at this path is not a ConfigurationSection then this will return null.

      Returns:
      Equivalent section in root configuration

    • addDefault

      void addDefault(String path, Object value)
      Sets the default value in the root at the given path as provided.

      If no source Configuration was provided as a default collection, then a new MemoryConfiguration will be created to hold the new default value.

      If value is null, the value will be removed from the default Configuration source.

      If the value as returned by getDefaultSection() is null, then this will create a new section at the path, replacing anything that may have existed there previously.

      Parameters:
      path - Path of the value to set.
      value - Value to set the default to.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - Thrown if path is null.
