public interface Name extends CharSequence
An immutable sequence of characters. When created by the same implementation, objects implementing this interface must obey the general equals contract when compared with each other. Therefore, Name
objects from the same implementation are usable in collections while Name
s from different implementations may not work properly in collections.
An empty Name
has a length of zero.
In the context of annotation processing, the guarantees for "the same" implementation must include contexts where the API mediated side effects of processors could be visible to each other, including successive annotation processing rounds.
Elements.getName(java.lang.CharSequence)
boolean equals(Object obj)
Returns true
if the argument represents the same name as this
, and false
otherwise.
Note that the identity of a Name
is a function both of its content in terms of a sequence of characters as well as the implementation which created it.

boolean contentEquals(CharSequence cs)
Compares this name to the specified CharSequence
. The result is true
if and only if this name represents the same sequence of char
values as the specified sequence.
