java.lang.Object
- org.klomp.snark.bencode.BEValue

```
public class BEValue
extends Object
```
Holds different types that a bencoded byte array can represent. You need to call the correct get method to get the correct java type object. If the BEValue wasn't actually of the requested type you will get a InvalidBEncodingException.

  - getString
```
public String getString()
                 throws InvalidBEncodingException
```
    Returns this BEValue as a String. This operation only succeeds when the BEValue is a byte[], otherwise it will throw a InvalidBEncodingException. The byte[] will be interpreted as UTF-8 encoded characters.
    
    Throws:
    
    InvalidBEncodingException
  - getBytes
```
public byte[] getBytes()
                throws InvalidBEncodingException
```
    Returns this BEValue as a byte[]. This operation only succeeds when the BEValue is actually a byte[], otherwise it will throw a InvalidBEncodingException.
    
    Throws:
    
    InvalidBEncodingException
  - getNumber
```
public Number getNumber()
                 throws InvalidBEncodingException
```
    Returns this BEValue as a Number. This operation only succeeds when the BEValue is actually a Number, otherwise it will throw a InvalidBEncodingException.
    
    Throws:
    
    InvalidBEncodingException
  - getInt
```
public int getInt()
           throws InvalidBEncodingException
```
    Returns this BEValue as int. This operation only succeeds when the BEValue is actually a Number, otherwise it will throw a InvalidBEncodingException. The returned int is the result of Number.intValue().
    
    Throws:
    
    InvalidBEncodingException
  - getLong
```
public long getLong()
             throws InvalidBEncodingException
```
    Returns this BEValue as long. This operation only succeeds when the BEValue is actually a Number, otherwise it will throw a InvalidBEncodingException. The returned long is the result of Number.longValue().
    
    Throws:
    
    InvalidBEncodingException
  - getList
```
public List<BEValue> getList()
                      throws InvalidBEncodingException
```
    Returns this BEValue as a List of BEValues. This operation only succeeds when the BEValue is actually a List, otherwise it will throw a InvalidBEncodingException.
    
    Throws:
    
    InvalidBEncodingException
  - getMap
```
public Map<String,BEValue> getMap()
                           throws InvalidBEncodingException
```
    Returns this BEValue as a Map of BEValue keys and BEValue values. This operation only succeeds when the BEValue is actually a Map, otherwise it will throw a InvalidBEncodingException.
    
    Throws:
    
    InvalidBEncodingException
