- Method Detail
  - count
```
public int count()
```
    Gets a number of the entries in the dictionary.
    
    Returns:
  - getKeys
```
public List<String> getKeys()
```
  - getValue
```
public Object getValue(String key)
```
    Gets a property's value as an object. The object types are Blob, Array, Dictionary, Number, or String based on the underlying data type; or nil if the property value is null or the property doesn't exist.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key.
    
    Returns:
    
    the object value or nil.
  - getString
```
public String getString(String key)
```
    Gets a property's value as a String. Returns null if the value doesn't exist, or its value is not a String.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key
    
    Returns:
    
    the String or null.
  - getNumber
```
public Number getNumber(String key)
```
    Gets a property's value as a Number. Returns null if the value doesn't exist, or its value is not a Number.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key
    
    Returns:
    
    the Number or nil.
  - getInt
```
public int getInt(String key)
```
    Gets a property's value as an int. Floating point values will be rounded. The value `true` is returned as 1, `false` as 0. Returns 0 if the value doesn't exist or does not have a numeric value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key
    
    Returns:
    
    the int value.
  - getLong
```
public long getLong(String key)
```
    Gets a property's value as an long. Floating point values will be rounded. The value `true` is returned as 1, `false` as 0. Returns 0 if the value doesn't exist or does not have a numeric value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key
    
    Returns:
    
    the long value.
  - getFloat
```
public float getFloat(String key)
```
    Gets a property's value as an float. Integers will be converted to float. The value `true` is returned as 1.0, `false` as 0.0. Returns 0.0 if the value doesn't exist or does not have a numeric value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key
    
    Returns:
    
    the float value.
  - getDouble
```
public double getDouble(String key)
```
    Gets a property's value as an double. Integers will be converted to double. The value `true` is returned as 1.0, `false` as 0.0. Returns 0.0 if the property doesn't exist or does not have a numeric value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key
    
    Returns:
    
    the double value.
  - getBoolean
```
public boolean getBoolean(String key)
```
    Gets a property's value as a boolean. Returns true if the value exists, and is either `true` or a nonzero number.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key
    
    Returns:
    
    the boolean value.
  - getBlob
```
public Blob getBlob(String key)
```
    Gets a property's value as a Blob. Returns null if the value doesn't exist, or its value is not a Blob.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key
    
    Returns:
    
    the Blob value or null.
  - getDate
```
public Date getDate(String key)
```
    Gets a property's value as a Date. JSON does not directly support dates, so the actual property value must be a string, which is then parsed according to the ISO-8601 date format (the default used in JSON.) Returns null if the value doesn't exist, is not a string, or is not parseable as a date. NOTE: This is not a generic date parser! It only recognizes the ISO-8601 format, with or without milliseconds.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key
    
    Returns:
    
    the Date value or null.
  - getArray
```
public Array getArray(String key)
```
    Get a property's value as a Array, which is a mapping object of an array value. Returns null if the property doesn't exists, or its value is not an array.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key.
    
    Returns:
    
    the Array object.
  - getDictionary
```
public Dictionary getDictionary(String key)
```
    Get a property's value as a Dictionary, which is a mapping object of an dictionary value. Returns null if the property doesn't exists, or its value is not an dictionary.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key.
    
    Returns:
    
    the Dictionary object or null if the key doesn't exist.
  - toMap
```
public Map<String,Object> toMap()
```
    Gets content of the current object as an Map. The values contained in the returned Map object are all JSON based values.
    
    Returns:
    
    the Map object representing the content of the current object in the JSON format.
  - contains
```
public boolean contains(String key)
```
    Tests whether a property exists or not. This can be less expensive than getValue(String), because it does not have to allocate an Object for the property value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key
    
    Returns:
    
    the boolean value representing whether a property exists or not.
  - toMutable
```
public MutableDictionary toMutable()
```
    Return a mutable copy of the dictionary
    
    Returns:
    
    the MutableDictionary instance
  - encodeTo
```
public void encodeTo(FLEncoder enc)
```
  - iterator
```
public Iterator<String> iterator()
```
    Specified by:
    
    iterator in interface Iterable<String>
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object o)
```
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
  - finalize
```
protected void finalize()
                 throws Throwable
```
    Overrides:
    
    finalize in class Object
    
    Throws:
    
    Throwable
  - isEmpty
```
protected boolean isEmpty()
```
