getTagClass

public Tag.Class getTagClass()

Returns the tag class.

get

public static Tag get(long num)

Returns an instance of a context-specific tag with the given number. The returned instance may be singleton. It is usually more efficient to call this method than create your own context-specific tag.

hashCode
