java.lang.Enum<PathFormatSelection>
dev.metaschema.core.metapath.format.PathFormatSelection
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<PathFormatSelection>
public enum PathFormatSelection extends Enum<PathFormatSelection>
Enumeration of path format selection options for validation output.

This enum allows users to control how node paths are formatted in validation messages and other output. The selection can be explicit (forcing a specific format) or automatic (selecting based on document format).

  • Enum Constant Details

    • AUTO

      public static final PathFormatSelection AUTO
      Auto-select the path format based on document format.

      When this option is selected:

      • JSON documents use JSON Pointer format (RFC 6901)
      • YAML documents use JSON Pointer format (RFC 6901)
      • XML documents use XPath 3.1 EQName format

      This is the default selection when no explicit format is specified.

    • METAPATH

      public static final PathFormatSelection METAPATH
      Always use Metapath format regardless of document type.

      Produces paths like: /root/assembly[1]/field[1]/@flag

    • XPATH

      public static final PathFormatSelection XPATH
      Always use XPath 3.1 EQName format regardless of document type.

      Produces namespace-qualified paths like: /Q{http://example.com}root/Q{http://example.com}assembly[1]

    • JSON_POINTER

      public static final PathFormatSelection JSON_POINTER
      Always use RFC 6901 JSON Pointer format regardless of document type.

      Produces paths like: /root/assemblies/0/id
