    The string-representation of the enumeration-type.
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static Parameter.Type[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (Parameter.Type c : Parameter.Type.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static Parameter.Type valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - getType
```
public static Parameter.Type getType(String tag)
```
    With this method the enumeration-type can be found based on the given string.
    
    Parameters:
    
    tag - The string-representation of the tag.
    
    Returns:
    
    The enumeration-type.
