java.lang.Object
- org.klomp.snark.bencode.BEValue

```
public class BEValue
extends Object
```
Holds different types that a bencoded byte array can represent. You need to call the correct get method to get the correct java type object. If the BEValue wasn't actually of the requested type you will get a InvalidBEncodingException.

- Constructor Detail
  - BEValue
```
public BEValue(byte[] value)
```
    Creates a new BEValue wrapping a byte array.
    Parameters:
    value - the byte array value to wrap
  - BEValue
```
public BEValue(List<BEValue> value)
```
    Creates a new BEValue wrapping a List.
    Parameters:
    value - the List value to wrap
  - BEValue
```
public BEValue(Map<String,BEValue> value)
```
    Creates a new BEValue wrapping a Map.
    Parameters:
    value - the Map value to wrap
  - BEValue
```
public BEValue(Number value)
```
    Creates a new BEValue wrapping a Number.
    Parameters:
    value - the Number value to wrap
- Method Detail
  - getBytes
```
public byte[] getBytes()
                throws InvalidBEncodingException
```
    Returns this BEValue as a byte[]. This operation only succeeds when the BEValue is actually a byte[], otherwise it will throw a InvalidBEncodingException.
    Returns:
    the bytes
    Throws:
    InvalidBEncodingException - if the value is not a byte array
  - getInt
```
public int getInt()
           throws InvalidBEncodingException
```
    Returns this BEValue as int. This operation only succeeds when the BEValue is actually a Number, otherwise it will throw a InvalidBEncodingException. The returned int is the result of Number.intValue().
    Returns:
    the int
    Throws:
    InvalidBEncodingException - if the value is not a Number
  - getList
```
public List<BEValue> getList()
                      throws InvalidBEncodingException
```
    Returns this BEValue as a List of BEValues. This operation only succeeds when the BEValue is actually a List, otherwise it will throw a InvalidBEncodingException.
    Returns:
    the List value
    Throws:
    InvalidBEncodingException - if the value is not a List
  - getLong
```
public long getLong()
             throws InvalidBEncodingException
```
    Returns this BEValue as long. This operation only succeeds when the BEValue is actually a Number, otherwise it will throw a InvalidBEncodingException. The returned long is the result of Number.longValue().
    Returns:
    the long
    Throws:
    InvalidBEncodingException - if the value is not a Number
  - getMap
```
public Map<String,BEValue> getMap()
                           throws InvalidBEncodingException
```
    Returns this BEValue as a Map of BEValue keys and BEValue values. This operation only succeeds when the BEValue is actually a Map, otherwise it will throw a InvalidBEncodingException.
    Returns:
    the Map value
    Throws:
    InvalidBEncodingException - if the value is not a Map
  - getNumber
```
public Number getNumber()
                 throws InvalidBEncodingException
```
    Returns this BEValue as a Number. This operation only succeeds when the BEValue is actually a Number, otherwise it will throw a InvalidBEncodingException.
    Returns:
    the Number value
    Throws:
    InvalidBEncodingException - if the value is not a Number
  - getString
```
public String getString()
                 throws InvalidBEncodingException
```
    Returns this BEValue as a String. This operation only succeeds when the BEValue is a byte[], otherwise it will throw a InvalidBEncodingException. The byte[] will be interpreted as UTF-8 encoded characters.
    Returns:
    the String value
    Throws:
    InvalidBEncodingException - if the value is not a byte array
  - getValue
```
public Object getValue()
```
    Returns the untyped value contained in this BEValue.
    Returns:
    the underlying value (byte[], Number, List, or Map)
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    toString in class Object
