public interface FSBooleanConstraint
extends FSConstraint

Interface for a boolean constraint. A boolean constraint contains a single condition, either true or false. To set the condition, use

To use the constraint, invoke its #match(float) method, passing the value to test. You can also embed this test with a path specification, using the ConstraintFactory.embedConstraint(FeaturePath, FSConstraint) method, and use it to test feature structures, or combine it with other tests using the ConstraintFactory.and(FSMatchConstraint, FSMatchConstraint) and ConstraintFactory.or(FSMatchConstraint, FSMatchConstraint) methods.

Method Summary

void	eq(boolean condition) Set the constraint.
boolean	match(boolean condition) Check the condition.
