[Java SDK V2] How to distinguish if Metadata is file or folder
Hello, I need to distunguish, if Metadata I got is file or folder. Is there any recommended way, how to do this? I came up just with using instanceof operator, here is a snippet from integration ...
- 9 years agoYes, using instanceof is the recommended way. For example:

Java instanceof is a keyword. It is a binary operator used to test if an object (instance) is a subtype of a given Type. It returns either true or false. More about...instanceof keyword
