Value (Jackcess 5.0.0 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

BaseDelayedValue, BaseNumericValue, BaseValue, BigDecimalValue, DateTimeValue, DoubleValue, LongValue, StringValue
```
public interface Value
```
Wrapper for a typed primitive value used within the expression evaluation engine. Note that the "Null" value is represented by an actual Value instance with the type of Value.Type.NULL. Also note that all the conversion methods will throw an EvalException if the conversion is not supported for the current value.

- Method Detail
  - getType
```
Value.Type getType()
```
    Returns:
    
    the type of this value
  - get
```
Object get()
```
    Returns:
    
    the raw primitive value
  - isNull
```
boolean isNull()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if this value represents a "Null" value, false otherwise.
  - getAsBoolean
```
boolean getAsBoolean(LocaleContext ctx)
```
    Returns:
    
    this primitive value converted to a boolean
  - getAsString
```
String getAsString(LocaleContext ctx)
```
    Returns:
    
    this primitive value converted to a String
  - getAsLocalDateTime
```
LocalDateTime getAsLocalDateTime(LocaleContext ctx)
```
    Returns:
    
    this primitive value converted to a LocalDateTime
  - getAsDateTimeValue
```
Value getAsDateTimeValue(LocaleContext ctx)
```
    Since date/time values have different types, it may be more convenient to get the date/time primitive value with the appropriate type information.
    
    Returns:
    
    this value converted to a date/time value
  - getAsLongInt
```
Integer getAsLongInt(LocaleContext ctx)
```
    Returns:
    
    this primitive value converted (rounded) to an int
  - getAsDouble
```
Double getAsDouble(LocaleContext ctx)
```
    Returns:
    
    this primitive value converted (rounded) to a double
  - getAsBigDecimal
```
BigDecimal getAsBigDecimal(LocaleContext ctx)
```
    Returns:
    
    this primitive value converted to a BigDecimal
