ContextKind (launchdarkly-java-server-sdk 7.4.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.launchdarkly.sdk.ContextKind

All Implemented Interfaces:

JsonSerializable, java.lang.Comparable<ContextKind>
```
public final class ContextKind
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Comparable<ContextKind>, JsonSerializable
```
A string identifier provided by the application to describe what kind of entity an LDContext represents.
The type is a simple wrapper for a String. Using a type that is not just String makes it clearer where a context kind is expected or returned in the SDK API, so it cannot be confused with other important strings such as the context key. To convert a literal string to this type, use the factory method of(String).
The meaning of the context kind is completely up to the application. Validation rules are as follows:
- It may only contain letters, numbers, and the characters ".", "_", and "-".
- It cannot equal the literal string "kind".
- For a single-kind context, it cannot equal "multi".
If no kind is specified, the default is "user" (the constant DEFAULT).
For a multi-kind context (see LDContext.createMulti(LDContext...)), the kind of the top-level LDContext is always "multi" (the constant MULTI); there is a specific Kind for each of the contexts contained within it.

    Constructor from a string value.
    A value of null or "" will be changed to DEFAULT.
    
    Parameters:
    
    stringValue - the string value
    
    Returns:
    
    a ContextKind
  - isDefault
```
public boolean isDefault()
```
    True if this is equal to DEFAULT ("user").
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this is the default kind
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Returns the string value of the context kind. This is never null.
