A DiffResult
contains a collection of the differences between two Diffable
objects. Typically these differences are displayed using toString()
method, which returns a string describing the fields that differ between the objects.
Use a DiffBuilder
to build a DiffResult
comparing two objects.
Type parameters: - <T> – type of the left and right object.
Since: 3.3

}
Builds a String
description of the differences contained within this DiffResult
. A ToStringBuilder
is used for each object and the style of the output is governed by the ToStringStyle
passed to the constructor.
If there are no differences stored in this list, the method will return DiffResult<T>.OBJECTS_SAME_STRING
. Otherwise, using the example given in Diffable
and ToStringStyle.SHORT_PREFIX_STYLE
, an output might be:
Person[name=John Doe,age=32] differs from Person[name=Joe Bloggs,age=26]
This indicates that the objects differ in name and age, but not in
smoking status.
To use a different ToStringStyle
for an instance of this class, use toString(ToStringStyle)
.
Returns: a String
description of the differences.
