Defines the logic used to extract the values from a container object of type T.

A value extractor for a generic type such as Optional, List or Map is tied to one specific type parameter of T. The ExtractedValue annotation is used to mark that type parameter. A value extractor for a non-generic type such as OptionalInt needs to declare the type of the wrapped element(s) using ExtractedValue#type().

The extracted values are passed to the corresponding method of the ValueReceiver.

A typical value extractor implementation for List may look like this:

public class ListValueExtractor implements
        ValueExtractor<List<@ExtractedValue ?>> {

    @Override
    public void extractValues(List<?> originalValue, ValueReceiver receiver) {
        for ( int i = 0; i < originalValue.size(); i++ ) {
            receiver.indexedValue( "<list element>", i, originalValue.get( i ) );
        }
    }
}

Modifier and Type	Class and Description
public static interface	ValueExtractor.ValueReceiver Provides a set of methods receiving value extracted by the `ValueExtractor`.

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
public void	extractValues(T the original value from which to extract the values, never `null` originalValue, ValueExtractor.ValueReceiver the corresponding `ValueReceiver` receiver) Extracts the values to validate from the original object.

extractValues	back to summary
public void extractValues(T originalValue, ValueExtractor.ValueReceiver receiver) Extracts the values to validate from the original object. Parameters originalValue:T the original value from which to extract the values, never `null` receiver:ValueExtractor.ValueReceiver the corresponding `ValueReceiver`

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
public void	indexedValue(String the name of the node representing the container element. If not `null`, the name will be used when adding a container element node to the `Path` nodeName, int the index of the value in the original object i, Object the value to validate object) Receives the value extracted from an indexed object (e.g. a `List`).
public void	iterableValue(String the name of the node representing the container element. If not `null`, the name will be used when adding a container element node to the `Path` nodeName, Object the value to validate object) Receives the value extracted from an iterable object that is not indexed (e.g. a `Iterable`, `Set` or a `Map`).
public void	keyedValue(String the name of the node representing the container element. If not `null`, the name will be used when adding a container element node to the `Path` nodeName, Object the key of the value in the original object key, Object the value to validate object) Receives the value extracted from a keyed object (e.g. a `Map`).
public void	value(String the name of the node representing the container element. If not `null`, the name will be used when adding a container element node to the `Path` nodeName, Object the value to validate object) Receives the value extracted from an object.
