Interface PlainStringBuilder

All Superinterfaces:
DataContentBuilder<PlainString>
All Known Implementing Classes:
PlainStringBuilder.DefaultPlainStringBuilder
public interface PlainStringBuilder extends DataContentBuilder<PlainString>
Builder interface for constructing PlainString instances, which represent unencrypted textual content.

This builder supports specifying a string value to be encapsulated and optionally used in cryptographic processing pipelines, although the value itself remains unencrypted.

The DataContentBuilder.build(boolean) method accepts an encrypt flag to comply with the DataContentBuilder interface. However, this flag is ignored because PlainString represents unencrypted data.

Usage example: 

PlainString plainText = PlainStringBuilder.builder()
    .value("Hello, World!")
    .build(true); // encrypt flag is ignored for PlainString
