## Interface Statement

- All Superinterfaces:
    Serializable
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    ContextStatement, ContextStatementImpl, MemStatement, SimpleStatement, StatementImpl

      public interface Statement
      extends Serializable

  An RDF statement, with optional associated context. A statement can have an associated context in specific cases, for example when fetched from a repository. The context field does not influence statement equality; a statement is equal to another statement if the subjects, predicates and objects are equal.

    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `boolean` | `equals(Object other)` Compares a statement object to another object.
    `Resource` | `getContext()` Gets the context of this statement.
    `Value` | `getObject()` Gets the object of this statement.
    `IRI` | `getPredicate()` Gets the predicate of this statement.
    `Resource` | `getSubject()` Gets the subject of this statement.
    `int` | `hashCode()` The hash code of a statement.
