Class Tag

java.lang.Object

us.bpsm.edn.Tag

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Tag>, Named

public final class Tag
extends Object
implements Named, Comparable<Tag>, Serializable

A Tag is Named. Additionally it obeys the syntactic restrictions defined for edn Symbols.

Note: Tags print with a leading hash, but this is not part of the tag's name:

 // For the tag "#foo/bar"
 Tag t = newTag("foo", "bar");
 t.getName()   => "bar"
 t.getPrefix() => "foo"
 t.toString()  => "#foo/bar"
