# Class BareJID

java.lang.Object
tigase.xmpp.jid.BareJID

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Comparable<BareJID>`

public final class BareJID extends Object implements Comparable<BareJID>
Instance of the `BareJID` class holds a single, bare JID. When the object is created the parameters are checked and processed through the stringprep. An exception is throw in case of stringprep processing error. The instances of the class are immutable objects.
There are planed various optimisations for the class implementation, one of them is to allow for comparing the instanced by references ('==') instead of of equals() method. This is to improve the performance and lower memory usage. Other improvements and optimisations are also planed.
Some of the optimisations require that the instances are created in strictly controlled way, hence there is no public constructor and you have to use factory methods to create a new instance of the `BareJID` class.
The class also offers a few utility methods for parsing and constructing JID strings. Please see JavaDoc documentation for more details.

- ## Method Details

  - ### bareJIDInstance

    public static BareJID bareJIDInstance(String jid) throws TigaseStringprepException
    The method creates an instance of the `BareJID` class. The bare JID is parsed and constructed from the `String` parameter.
    The localpart (nick name) and the domain part of the JID are parsed and processed through the stringprep. If a strngprep parsing error occurs an exception is thrown.
    The resource part, if provided in the JID paramater, is thrown away.
    Please note, the method does not necessarily has to return a new instance of the class. It may return the same exact object every time you pass parameters which refer to the same bare JID identifier.
    Parameters:
      `jid` - is a `String` parameter used to create the bare JID instance.
    Returns:
      an instance of the `BareJID` class which corresponds to the JID given as the parameter.
    Throws:
      `TigaseStringprepException` - if the stringprep processing fails for any JID part used to create the instance.

  - ### bareJIDInstance

    public static BareJID bareJIDInstance(String p_localpart, String p_domain) throws TigaseStringprepException
    The method creates an instance of the `BareJID` class. The bare JID is parsed and constructed from two `String` parameters.
    The localpart (nick name) and the domain part of the JID are parsed and processed through the stringprep. If a strngprep parsing error occurs an exception is thrown.
    Please note, the method does not necessarily has to return a new instance of the class. It may return the same exact object every time you pass parameters which refer to the same bare JID identifier.
    Parameters:
      `p_localpart` - is a `String` parameter assumed to be a JID localpart (nickname) and used to create the bare JID instance. The localpart parameter can be null.
      `p_domain` - is a `String` parameter assumed to be a JID domain part and used to create the bare JID instance. This parameter must not be null.
    Returns:
      an instance of the `BareJID` class which corresponds to the JID given as the parameter.
