## Detailed Description

Represents a string identifier, designed for accessing properties by name.

Comparing two Identifier objects is very fast (an O(1) operation), but creating them can be slower than just using a String directly, so the optimal way to use them is to keep some static Identifier objects for the things you use often.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## Identifier() [1/6]

Identifier::Identifier | ( |  | ) |

noexcept

Creates a null identifier.

## Identifier() [2/6]

Identifier::Identifier | ( | const char * | name | ) |

Creates an identifier with a specified name.

Because this name may need to be used in contexts such as script variables or XML tags, it must only contain ascii letters and digits, or the underscore character.

## Identifier() [3/6]

Identifier::Identifier | ( | const String & | name | ) |

Creates an identifier with a specified name.

Because this name may need to be used in contexts such as script variables or XML tags, it must only contain ascii letters and digits, or the underscore character.

## Identifier() [4/6]

Identifier::Identifier | ( | String::CharPointerType | nameStart,
|  | String::CharPointerType | nameEnd
| ) |  |

Creates an identifier with a specified name.

Because this name may need to be used in contexts such as script variables or XML tags, it must only contain ascii letters and digits, or the underscore character.

## Identifier() [5/6]

Identifier::Identifier | ( | const Identifier & | other | ) |

noexcept

Creates a copy of another identifier.

## Identifier() [6/6]

Identifier::Identifier | ( | Identifier && | other | ) |

noexcept

Creates a copy of another identifier.

## ~Identifier()

Identifier::~Identifier | ( |  | ) |

noexcept

Destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

## operator=() [1/2]

Identifier& Identifier::operator= | ( | const Identifier & | other | ) |

noexcept

Creates a copy of another identifier.

## operator=() [2/2]

Identifier& Identifier::operator= | ( | Identifier && | other | ) |

noexcept

Creates a copy of another identifier.

## operator==() [1/2]

bool Identifier::operator== | ( | const Identifier & | other | ) | const

noexcept

Compares two identifiers.

This is a very fast operation.

References String::getCharPointer().

## operator!=() [1/2]

bool Identifier::operator!= | ( | const Identifier & | other | ) | const

noexcept

Compares two identifiers.

This is a very fast operation.

References String::getCharPointer().

## operator==() [2/2]

bool Identifier::operator== | ( | StringRef | other | ) | const

noexcept

Compares the identifier with a string.

## operator!=() [2/2]

bool Identifier::operator!= | ( | StringRef | other | ) | const

noexcept

Compares the identifier with a string.

## operator<()

bool Identifier::operator< | ( | StringRef | other | ) | const

noexcept

Compares the identifier with a string.

## operator<=()

bool Identifier::operator<= | ( | StringRef | other | ) | const

noexcept

Compares the identifier with a string.

## operator>()

bool Identifier::operator> | ( | StringRef | other | ) | const

noexcept

Compares the identifier with a string.

## operator>=()

bool Identifier::operator>= | ( | StringRef | other | ) | const

noexcept

Compares the identifier with a string.

## toString()

const String& Identifier::toString | ( |  | ) | const

noexcept

Returns this identifier as a string.

## operator String::CharPointerType()

Identifier::operator String::CharPointerType | ( |  | ) | const

noexcept

Returns this identifier's raw string pointer.

References String::getCharPointer().

## getCharPointer()

String::CharPointerType Identifier::getCharPointer | ( |  | ) | const

noexcept

Returns this identifier's raw string pointer.

References String::getCharPointer().

## operator StringRef()

Identifier::operator StringRef | ( |  | ) | const

noexcept

Returns this identifier as a StringRef.

## isValid()

bool Identifier::isValid | ( |  | ) | const

noexcept

Returns true if this Identifier is not null.

References String::isNotEmpty().

## isNull()

bool Identifier::isNull | ( |  | ) | const

noexcept

Returns true if this Identifier is null.

References String::isEmpty().

## isValidIdentifier()

static bool Identifier::isValidIdentifier | ( | const String & | possibleIdentifier | ) |

static noexcept

Checks a given string for characters that might not be valid in an Identifier.

Since Identifiers are used as a script variables and XML attributes, they should only contain alphanumeric characters, underscores, or the '-' and ':' characters.

## Member Data Documentation
