All Implemented Interfaces:

Immutable, MutationBehaviour<Immutable>

```
public static PatternExpression of(String regex,
                                   String pattern)
```
  - getJavaPatternString
```
public String getJavaPatternString()
```
    Returns a Java Pattern-compatible regular expression (pattern). Returned string performs equivalent matching in terms of enforcement, but it may have a structure completely different from the one in YANG model.
    
    Returns:
    
    string Java Pattern regular expression
  - getRegularExpressionString
```
public String getRegularExpressionString()
```
    Returns a raw regular expression as it was declared in a source. This string conforms to XSD regular expression syntax, which is notably different from Java's Pattern string.
    
    Returns:
    
    argument of pattern statement as it was declared in YANG model.
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(@Nullable Object obj)
```
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
