Method Detail

getName

String getName()

 The representative name for the entity.

string name = 1;

Returns:: The name.

getNameBytes

com.google.protobuf.ByteString getNameBytes()

 The representative name for the entity.

string name = 1;

Returns:: The bytes for name.

getTypeValue
```
int getTypeValue()
```
```
 The entity type.
 
```
.google.cloud.language.v1.Entity.Type type = 2;
Returns:

The enum numeric value on the wire for type.

getType
```
Entity.Type getType()
```
```
 The entity type.
 
```
.google.cloud.language.v1.Entity.Type type = 2;
Returns:

The type.

getMetadataCount

int getMetadataCount()

 Metadata associated with the entity.

 For most entity types, the metadata is a Wikipedia URL (`wikipedia_url`)
 and Knowledge Graph MID (`mid`), if they are available. For the metadata
 associated with other entity types, see the Type table below.

map<string, string> metadata = 3;

containsMetadata

boolean containsMetadata(String key)

 Metadata associated with the entity.

 For most entity types, the metadata is a Wikipedia URL (`wikipedia_url`)
 and Knowledge Graph MID (`mid`), if they are available. For the metadata
 associated with other entity types, see the Type table below.

map<string, string> metadata = 3;

getMetadata

@Deprecated
Map<String,String> getMetadata()

Deprecated.

Use getMetadataMap() instead.

getMetadataMap

Map<String,String> getMetadataMap()

 Metadata associated with the entity.

 For most entity types, the metadata is a Wikipedia URL (`wikipedia_url`)
 and Knowledge Graph MID (`mid`), if they are available. For the metadata
 associated with other entity types, see the Type table below.

map<string, string> metadata = 3;

getMetadataOrDefault

String getMetadataOrDefault(String key,
                            String defaultValue)

 Metadata associated with the entity.

 For most entity types, the metadata is a Wikipedia URL (`wikipedia_url`)
 and Knowledge Graph MID (`mid`), if they are available. For the metadata
 associated with other entity types, see the Type table below.

map<string, string> metadata = 3;

getMetadataOrThrow

String getMetadataOrThrow(String key)

 Metadata associated with the entity.

 For most entity types, the metadata is a Wikipedia URL (`wikipedia_url`)
 and Knowledge Graph MID (`mid`), if they are available. For the metadata
 associated with other entity types, see the Type table below.

map<string, string> metadata = 3;

getSalience

float getSalience()

 The salience score associated with the entity in the [0, 1.0] range.

 The salience score for an entity provides information about the
 importance or centrality of that entity to the entire document text.
 Scores closer to 0 are less salient, while scores closer to 1.0 are highly
 salient.

float salience = 4;

Returns:: The salience.
