- Enum Constant Detail
  - MARK_AS_FAVORITE
```
public static final Verb MARK_AS_FAVORITE
```
    The "mark as favorite" Verb indicates that the Subject marked the Object as an item of special interest. Objects so marked often appear in a collection of such Objects which MAY be published as a feed of entries annotated with this Verb. If a particular service uses favorites as a mechanism by which a user can recall items that were earlier marked, it MAY be appropriate to also mark activities of this type with the "save" Verb as described in Section 3.1.8. The verb URI for the "mark as favorite" Verb is http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/favorite.
  - START_FOLLOWING
```
public static final Verb START_FOLLOWING
```
    The "start following" Verb indicates that the Subject began following the activity of the Object. In most cases, the Object of this Verb will be a user, but it can potentially be of any type that can sensibly generate activity. The verb URI for the "start following" Verb is http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/follow. Processors MAY ignore (silently drop) successive identical "start following" activities regardless of whether they maintain state sufficient to determine (A), (B), or (C) above.
  - MARK_AS_LIKED
```
public static final Verb MARK_AS_LIKED
```
    The "mark as liked" verb indicates that the actor indicated that it likes the object. The verb URI for the "mark as liked" Verb is http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/like.
  - MAKE_FRIEND
```
public static final Verb MAKE_FRIEND
```
    The "make friend" Verb indicates the creation of a friendship that is reciprocated by the object. Since this verb implies an activity on the part of its object, processors MUST NOT accept activities with this Verb unless they are able to verify through some external means that there is in fact a reciprocated connection. For example, a processor MAY have received a guarantee from a particular publisher that the publisher will only use this Verb in cases where a reciprocal relationship exists. The verb URI for the "make friend" Verb is http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/make-friend.
  - JOIN
```
public static final Verb JOIN
```
    The "join" Verb indicates that the actor has become a member of the Object. This specification only defines the meaning of this Verb when its Object is a Group, though implementors SHOULD be prepared to handle other Object types as meaning MAY be provided by extension specifications. Processors MAY ignore (silently drop) successive identical "join" activities regardless of whether they maintain state sufficient to determine (A) or (B) above. The "join" Verb is identified by the URI http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/join.
  - PLAY
```
public static final Verb PLAY
```
    The "play" verb indicates that the subject spent some time enjoying the object. For example, if the object is a video this indicates that the subject watched all or part of the video. The "play" Verb is identified by the URI http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/play.
  - POST
```
public static final Verb POST
```
    The "Post" Verb is described in section 8 of the AtomActivity specification. It is only referenced here for completeness. http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post
  - SAVE
```
public static final Verb SAVE
```
    The "save" Verb indicates that the Subject has called out the Object as being of interest primarily to him- or herself. Though this action MAY be shared publicly, the implication is that the Object has been saved primarily for the actor's own benefit rather than to show it to others as would be indicated by the "share" Verb (Section 3.1.9). The "save" Verb is identified by the URI http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/save.
  - SHARE
```
public static final Verb SHARE
```
    The "share" Verb indicates that the Subject has called out the Object to readers. In most cases, the actor did not create the Object being shared, but is instead drawing attention to it. The "share" Verb is identified by the URI http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/share.
  - TAG
```
public static final Verb TAG
```
    The "tag" verb indicates that the actor has identified the presence of a target inside another object. For example, the actor may have specified that a particular user appears in a photo. The "tag" verb is identified by the URI http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/tag. The target of the "tag" verb gives the object in which the tag has been added. For example, if a user appears in a photo, the activity:object is the user and the activity:target is the photo.
  - UPDATE
```
public static final Verb UPDATE
```
    The "update" Verb indicates that the Subject has modified the referenced Object. Implementors SHOULD use verbs such as Section 3.1.7 where the Subject is adding new items to a Section 3.2.8 or similar. Update is reserved for modifications to existing Objects or data such as changing a user's profile information. The "update" Verb is identified by the URI http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/update.
  - RSVP_YES
```
public static final Verb RSVP_YES
```
    The "positive RSVP" verb indicates that the actor has made a positive RSVP for the object. This specification only defines the meaning of this verb when its object is an event (see Section 4.2.1 (Event)), though implementors SHOULD be prepared to handle other object types as meaning MAY be provided by extension specifications.
    
    The use of this Verb is only appropriate when the RSVP was created by an explicit action by the actor. It is not appropriate to use this verb when a user has been added as an attendee by an event organiser or administrator.
    
    The verb URI for the "positive RSVP" Verb is http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/rsvp-yes.
  - RSVP_MAYBE
```
public static final Verb RSVP_MAYBE
```
    The "possible RSVP" verb indicates that the actor has made a possible RSVP for the object. This specification only defines the meaning of this verb when its object is an event (see Section 4.2.1 (Event)), though implementors SHOULD be prepared to handle other object types as meaning MAY be provided by extension specifications.
    
    The use of this Verb is only appropriate when the RSVP was created by an explicit action by the actor. It is not appropriate to use this verb when a user has been added as an attendee by an event organiser or administrator.
    
    The verb URI for the "possible RSVP" Verb is http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/rsvp-maybe.
  - RSVP_NO
```
public static final Verb RSVP_NO
```
    The "negative RSVP" verb indicates that the actor has made a negative RSVP for the object. This specification only defines the meaning of this verb when its object is an event (see Section 4.2.1 (Event)), though implementors SHOULD be prepared to handle other object types as meaning MAY be provided by extension specifications.
    
    The use of this Verb is only appropriate when the RSVP was created by an explicit action by the actor. It is not appropriate to use this verb when a user has been added as an attendee by an event organiser or administrator.
    
    The verb URI for the "negative RSVP" Verb is http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/rsvp-no.
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static Verb[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
    for (Verb c : Verb.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static Verb valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
