Interface Summary

Interface	Description
DefaultSource	An interface describing an object as being able to produce a set of default values.
ExceptionMap	A class for aggregating exceptions thrown by JSAP's parsing process.
Flagged	Marks an argument as being "flagged" - that is, as having its value on the command line preceded by an indicator.

Class Summary

Class	Description
CommandLineTokenizer	A utility class to parse a command line contained in a single String into an array of argument tokens, much as the JVM (or more accurately, your operating system) does before calling your programs' public static void main(String[] args) methods.
Defaults	Stores a collection of default values, associated with their respective parameters by the parameters' unique IDs.
FlaggedOption	An option that implements the Flagged interface.
IDMap	A utility class to allow lookups of parameter IDs by short flag or long flag.
JSAP	The core class of the JSAP (Java Simple Argument Parser) API.
JSAPResult	Encapsulates the results of JSAP's parse() methods.
Option	The base class from which FlaggedOption and UnflaggedOption are derived.
Parameter	Top-level abstraction of a parameter.
PropertyStringParser	A StringParser subclass that provides a means for setting/getting properties.
QualifiedSwitch	A QualifiedSwitch is a parameter that has something in common with a Switch, i.e., its presence or absence is significant, but different from a "pure" Switch it can have an additional value (or values) prefixed by a ':' sign that qualifies the Switch - making it behave like a FlaggedOption if a value is specified.
SimpleJSAP	A simple interface to JSAP that handles directly help, explanation and an array of parameters.
StringParser	Class responsible for converting Strings into Objects.
Switch	A Switch is a parameter whose presence alone is significant; another commonly used term for a Switch is "Flag".
UnflaggedOption	An option whose meaning is derived from its position in the argument list rather than a flag that precedes it.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
IllegalMultipleDeclarationException	An exception indicating that a parameter has illegally been declared multiple times.
JSAPException	The base class for all of JSAP's exceptions.
ParseException	A JSAPException subclass notifying the application of a parse error.
RequiredParameterMissingException	An exception indicating that a required parameter was missing from the supplied arguments and defaults.
SyntaxException	An exception indicating that a syntax error was encountered in the argument list.
UnknownFlagException	An exception indicating that a unknown flag has been specified.
UnspecifiedParameterException	An exception thrown when an argument that requires a conversion (e.g., an integer) has no associated value, but it is retrieved by means of a type-specified method (e.g., JSAPResult.getInt(String)).
