Properties

public static boolean

isIdentifier(CharSequence name) Details

Returns whether or not name is a syntactically valid identifier (simple name) or keyword in the latest source version. The method returns true if the name consists of an initial character for which Character#isJavaIdentifierStart(int) returns true, followed only by characters for which Character#isJavaIdentifierPart(int) returns true. This pattern matches regular identifiers, keywords, and the literals "true", "false", and "null". The method returns false for all other strings.

return	`true` if this string is a syntactically valid identifier or keyword, `false` otherwise.
