Enum NameType

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<NameType>

tech.gusavila92.apache.commons.codec.language.bm.NameType

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<NameType>

public enum NameType
extends java.lang.Enum<NameType>

Supported types of names. Unless you are matching particular family names, use GENERIC. The GENERIC NameType should work reasonably well for non-name words. The other encodings are specifically tuned to family names, and may not work well at all for general text.

Since:

1.6
