All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<XLink.Type>

Enclosing class:

XLink
```
public static enum XLink.Type
extends Enum<XLink.Type>
```
The type of a xlink. This type can be determined from the set of non-null attribute values in a XLink instance.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - SIMPLE
```
public static final XLink.Type SIMPLE
```
    A simple link. Allows the href, role, arcrole, title, show and actuate attributes, all of them being optional.
  - EXTENDED
```
public static final XLink.Type EXTENDED
```
    An extended, possibly multi-resource, link. Allows the role and title attributes, all of them being optional.
  - LOCATOR
```
public static final XLink.Type LOCATOR
```
    A pointer to an external resource. Allows the href, role, title and label attributes, where href is mandatory and all other are optional.
  - RESOURCE
```
public static final XLink.Type RESOURCE
```
    An internal resource. Allows the role, title and label attributes, all of them being optional.
  - ARC
```
public static final XLink.Type ARC
```
    A traversal rule between resources. Allows the arcrole, title, show, actuate from and to attributes, all of them being optional.
  - TITLE
```
public static final XLink.Type TITLE
```
    A descriptive title for another linking element.
  - AUTO
```
public static final XLink.Type AUTO
```
    A special value for computing the type automatically from the XLink attributes. After a call to XLink.setType(AUTO), any call to XLink.getType() will infer the type from the non-null attributes as according the table documented in the XLink javadoc.
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static XLink.Type[] 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 (XLink.Type c : XLink.Type.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static XLink.Type 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
