## Interface LowLevelCAS

- All Known Implementing Classes:
    CASImpl

      public interface LowLevelCAS

  Defines the low-level CAS APIs. The low-level CAS APIs provide no access to feature structure objects. All access to CAS data is through integer IDs that represent handles to the CAS data.

  The basic concepts of the low-level APIs is very simple. The CAS does not internally hold its data as Java objects, for performance reasons. The low-level APIs give you access to this data more or less directly. Instead of creating Java objects that you can manipulate in an OO fashion, you only obtain int values that are used as references to internal data. Thus, if you would like to change values on a particular piece of data, you need to hand the FS reference to the API, as opposed to calling methods on a FS object. The tricky part about the low-level APIs is that it's all just ints, and it is very easy to confuse an int that represents a type code with an int that represents a feature code or a FS reference. Particular care is therefore necessary when using the low-level APIs. Please follow the guidelines for turning on a minimum of checks below.

  This API represents the supported access to low-level features of the UIMA framework CAS implementation. Other public APIs in the implementation are not supported and are subject to change without notice.

  Please note that you really need to know what you're doing when using these APIs. Incorrect usage of these APIs can and will cause completely unpredictable results; likely your application will crash, and it will do so much later than where the incorrect usage occured. The low-level APIs are very hard to debug. You should only use the low-level APIs if you have carefully profiled your application and are sure that the high-level CAS APIs or the JCAS represent a performance bottleneck.

  Note that most low-level APIs have versions that allow you to turn some form of parameter checking on. We strongly encourage you to use those versions during development, they may save you a lot of time. One way you can use the type checking switch is by having a constant

       static final boolean DO_TYPE_CHECK = true;

  which you can use during development. For production level code, you can later change the constant to `false`. The performance difference to the non-parametrized versions of the getters and setters is probably negligible or may not even exist, depending on the Java runtime.

  Please note that even with the check switches turned on, it is still possible to make mistakes that only show up much later in processing. The main problem is that it is simply impossible to determine for certain whether a given FS reference is valid or not. The implementation can only determine that it looks like a reference that points at a valid piece of data, but this could be accidental.

    - #### ll_getTypeClass

          int ll_getTypeClass(int typeCode)

      Determine the type class of a type. This is useful for generic CAS exploiters to determine what kind of data they're looking at. The type classes currently defined are:
      - `TYPE_CLASS_INVALID` -- Not a valid type code.
      - `TYPE_CLASS_INT` -- Integer type.
      - `TYPE_CLASS_FLOAT` -- Float type.
      - `TYPE_CLASS_STRING` -- String type.
      - `TYPE_CLASS_BOOLEAN` -- Boolean type.
      - `TYPE_CLASS_BYTE` -- Byte type.
      - `TYPE_CLASS_SHORT` -- Short type.
      - `TYPE_CLASS_LONG` -- Long type.
      - `TYPE_CLASS_DOUBLE` -- Double type.
      - `TYPE_CLASS_INTARRAY` -- Integer array.
      - `TYPE_CLASS_FLOATARRAY` -- Float array.
      - `TYPE_CLASS_STRINGARRAY` -- String array.
      - `TYPE_CLASS_BOOLEANARRAY` -- Boolean array.
      - `TYPE_CLASS_BYTEARRAY` -- Byte array.
      - `TYPE_CLASS_SHORTARRAY` -- Short array.
      - `TYPE_CLASS_LONGARRAY` -- Long array.
      - `TYPE_CLASS_DOUBLEARRAY` -- Double array.
      - `TYPE_CLASS_FSARRAY` -- FS array.
      - `TYPE_CLASS_FS` -- FS type, i.e., all other types, including all user-defined types.
      This method is on the CAS, not the type system, since the specific properties of types are specific to the CAS. The type system does not know, for example, that the CAS treats arrays specially.
      Parameters:
        `typeCode` - The type code.
      Returns:
        A type class for the type code. `TYPE_CLASS_INVALID` if the type code argument does not represent a valid type code.

        `true` iff `typeCode` is the type code of a reference type.
