- - ### Method Detail

    - #### type

          JsonEventType type()

      Returns:
        the type of the event

    - #### fieldName

          String fieldName()

      Returns:
        the name of the field when the event is emitted as a JSON object member

    - #### value

          Object value()

      Returns:
        the json value for `JsonEventType.VALUE` events

    - #### isNumber

          boolean isNumber()

      Returns:
        true when the JSON value is a number

    - #### integerValue

          Integer integerValue()

      Returns:
        the `Integer` value or `null` if the event has no JSON value
      Throws:
        `ClassCastException` - if the value is not an `Integer`

    - #### longValue

          Long longValue()

      Returns:
        the `Long` value or `null` if the event has no JSON value
      Throws:
        `ClassCastException` - if the value is not a `Long`

    - #### floatValue

          Float floatValue()

      Returns:
        the `Float` value or `null` if the event has no JSON value
      Throws:
        `ClassCastException` - if the value is not a `Float`

    - #### doubleValue

          Double doubleValue()

      Returns:
        the `Double` value or `null` if the event has no JSON value
      Throws:
        `ClassCastException` - if the value is not a `Double`

    - #### isBoolean

          boolean isBoolean()

      Returns:
        true when the JSON value is a boolean

    - #### booleanValue

          Boolean booleanValue()

      Returns:
        the `Boolean` value or `null` if the event has no JSON value
      Throws:
        `ClassCastException` - if the value is not a `Boolean`

    - #### isString

          boolean isString()

      Returns:
        true when the JSON value is a string

    - #### stringValue

          String stringValue()

      Returns:
        the string value or `null` if the event has no JSON value
      Throws:
        `ClassCastException` - if the value is not a string

    - #### binaryValue

          Buffer binaryValue()

      Return the binary value.

      JSON itself has no notion of a binary, this extension complies to the RFC-7493, so this method assumes there is a String value with the key and it contains a Base64 encoded binary, which it decodes if found and returns.

      Returns:
        the binary value or `null` if the event has no JSON value
      Throws:
        `ClassCastException` - if the value is not a String
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if the String value is not a legal Base64 encoded value

    - #### instantValue

          Instant instantValue()

      Return the `Instant` value.

      JSON itself has no notion of a temporal types, this extension complies to the RFC-7493, so this method assumes there is a String value with the key and it contains an ISO 8601 encoded date and time format such as "2017-04-03T10:25:41Z", which it decodes if found and returns.

      Returns:
        the `Instant` value or `null` if the event has no JSON value
      Throws:
        `ClassCastException` - if the value is not a String
        `DateTimeParseException` - if the String value is not a legal ISO 8601 encoded value

    - #### isNull

          boolean isNull()

      Returns:
        true when the JSON value is null

    - #### isObject

          boolean isObject()

      Returns:
        true when the JSON value is a JSON object

    - #### objectValue

          JsonObject objectValue()

      Returns:
        the JSON object value or `null` if the event has no JSON value
      Throws:
        `ClassCastException` - if the value is not a JSON object

    - #### isArray

          boolean isArray()

      Returns:
        true when the JSON value is a JSON array

    - #### arrayValue

          JsonArray arrayValue()

      Returns:
        the JSON array value or `null` if the event has no JSON value
      Throws:
        `ClassCastException` - if the value is not a JSON array

    - #### mapTo

          <T> T mapTo​(Class<T> type)

      Decodes and returns the current value as the specified `type`.
      Parameters:
        `type` - the type to decode the value to
      Returns:
        the decoded value
