FSTypeConstraint (Apache UIMA Java SDK: uimaj 2.10.2 API)

All Superinterfaces:

FSConstraint, FSMatchConstraint, java.io.Serializable
```
public interface FSTypeConstraint
extends FSMatchConstraint
```
Interface for type constraint. Tests if a feature structure is a subtype of a given type (or types).
You can add as many types to this constraint as you like. If you add more than one type, they will be interpreted disjunctively; i.e., the constraint will match any feature structure whose type is subsumed by one of the types of the constraint.
these constraints may be embedded in a path, or combined using and/or operators.
To use the constraint, invoke its FSMatchConstraint.match(FeatureStructure) method, passing the feature structure to test.
You can also use these constraints to construct a CAS.createFilteredIterator(FSIterator, FSMatchConstraint).

- Method Detail
  - add
```
void add(Type type)
```
    Add a new type to this type constraint. This method can be called more than once. Multiple types will be interpreted disjunctively.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - A type that should be permitted by this constraint.
  - add
```
void add(java.lang.String type)
```
    Add a new type to this type constraint. This method can be called more than once. Multiple types will be interpreted disjunctively.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - A fully qualified type name that should be permitted by this constraint.
