      public class BooleanNode
      extends ValueNode

  This concrete value class is used to contain boolean (true / false) values. Only two instances are ever created, to minimize memory usage.

    - #### getNodeType

          public JsonNodeType getNodeType()

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Return the type of this node
      Specified by:
        `getNodeType` in class `JsonNode`
      Returns:
        the node type as a `JsonNodeType` enum value

    - #### asToken

          public com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonToken asToken()

      Description copied from class: `BaseJsonNode`
      Method that can be used for efficient type detection when using stream abstraction for traversing nodes. Will return the first `JsonToken` that equivalent stream event would produce (for most nodes there is just one token but for structured/container types multiple)
      Specified by:
        `asToken` in interface `com.fasterxml.jackson.core.TreeNode`
      Specified by:
        `asToken` in class `ValueNode`

    - #### booleanValue

          public boolean booleanValue()

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Method to use for accessing JSON boolean values (value literals 'true' and 'false'). For other types, always returns false.
      Overrides:
        `booleanValue` in class `JsonNode`
      Returns:
        Textual value this node contains, iff it is a textual json node (comes from JSON String value entry)

    - #### asText

          public java.lang.String asText()

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Method that will return a valid String representation of the container value, if the node is a value node (method `JsonNode.isValueNode()` returns true), otherwise empty String.
      Specified by:
        `asText` in class `JsonNode`

    - #### asBoolean

          public boolean asBoolean()

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Method that will try to convert value of this node to a Java boolean. JSON booleans map naturally; integer numbers other than 0 map to true, and 0 maps to false and Strings 'true' and 'false' map to corresponding values.

      If representation can not be converted to a boolean value (including structured types like Objects and Arrays), default value of false will be returned; no exceptions are thrown.

      Overrides:
        `asBoolean` in class `JsonNode`

    - #### asBoolean

          public boolean asBoolean(boolean defaultValue)

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Method that will try to convert value of this node to a Java boolean. JSON booleans map naturally; integer numbers other than 0 map to true, and 0 maps to false and Strings 'true' and 'false' map to corresponding values.

      If representation can not be converted to a boolean value (including structured types like Objects and Arrays), specified defaultValue will be returned; no exceptions are thrown.

      Overrides:
        `asBoolean` in class `JsonNode`

    - #### asInt

          public int asInt(int defaultValue)

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Method that will try to convert value of this node to a Java int. Numbers are coerced using default Java rules; booleans convert to 0 (false) and 1 (true), and Strings are parsed using default Java language integer parsing rules.

      If representation can not be converted to an int (including structured types like Objects and Arrays), specified defaultValue will be returned; no exceptions are thrown.

      Overrides:
        `asInt` in class `JsonNode`

    - #### asLong

          public long asLong(long defaultValue)

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Method that will try to convert value of this node to a Java long. Numbers are coerced using default Java rules; booleans convert to 0 (false) and 1 (true), and Strings are parsed using default Java language integer parsing rules.

      If representation can not be converted to an long (including structured types like Objects and Arrays), specified defaultValue will be returned; no exceptions are thrown.

      Overrides:
        `asLong` in class `JsonNode`

    - #### asDouble

          public double asDouble(double defaultValue)

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Method that will try to convert value of this node to a Java double. Numbers are coerced using default Java rules; booleans convert to 0.0 (false) and 1.0 (true), and Strings are parsed using default Java language integer parsing rules.

      If representation can not be converted to an int (including structured types like Objects and Arrays), specified defaultValue will be returned; no exceptions are thrown.

      Overrides:
        `asDouble` in class `JsonNode`

    - #### serialize

          public final void serialize(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator g,
                       SerializerProvider provider)
                               throws java.io.IOException

      Description copied from class: `BaseJsonNode`
      Method called to serialize node instances using given generator.
      Specified by:
        `serialize` in interface `JsonSerializable`
      Specified by:
        `serialize` in class `BaseJsonNode`
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Specified by:
        `hashCode` in class `BaseJsonNode`

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Equality for node objects is defined as full (deep) value equality. This means that it is possible to compare complete JSON trees for equality by comparing equality of root nodes.

      Note: marked as abstract to ensure all implementation classes define it properly and not rely on definition from `Object`.

      Specified by:
        `equals` in class `JsonNode`
