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.
Params:
  • name – the string to check
Returns:true if this string is a syntactically valid identifier or keyword, false otherwise.
