All Implemented Interfaces:

```
public enum ValueKind
extends Enum<ValueKind>
```
Discriminator for Value variants, used by the comparator to dispatch without instanceof chains.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant	Description
`ABSENT`	No value at all, such as an attribute the queried element does not carry; every comparison against it fails.
`BOOL`	A true or false flag, and the only kind a bare condition can be truth-tested on directly.
`INT`	A whole number, carried as a long.
`NULL`	An explicit null literal, equal only to another null.
`REAL`	A floating point number, carried as a double; compares numerically against INT.
`REGEX`	A compiled pattern, valid only on the right of a match operator.
`SET`	An ordered list of member values, the only kind the `in` operator accepts on its right.
`STRING`	A text literal.
`TYPE`	A type reference, either an internal name or a descriptor; compared as text against STRING.

```
public static ValueKind[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
    for (ValueKind c : ValueKind.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static ValueKind valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
