Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant	Description
`ALL_CAPS`	Requests the field value converted to ALL CAPS.
`CORE`	If the field contains a main word with one or more separate prefixes, such as "van den Hul", this requests just the main word ("Hul").
`GENITIVE`	Requests the genitive form of the field's contents, if possible.
`INFORMAL`	Requests an "informal" variant of the field, generally a nickname of some type: if "given" is "James", "given-informal" might be "Jimmy".
`INITIAL`	Requests an initial for the specified field.
`INITIAL_CAP`	Requests the field value with the first grapheme of each word converted to titlecase.
`MONOGRAM`	Requests an initial for the specified field, suitable for use in a monogram (this usually differs from "initial" in that "initial" often adds a period and "monogram" never does).
`PREFIX`	If the field contains a main word with one or more separate prefixes, such as "van den Hul", this requests just the prefixes ("van den").
`RETAIN`	Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only.
`VOCATIVE`	Requests the vocative form of the field's contents, if possible.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - INFORMAL
```
public static final PersonName.FieldModifier INFORMAL
```
    Requests an "informal" variant of the field, generally a nickname of some type: if "given" is "James", "given-informal" might be "Jimmy". Only applied to the "given" field. If the PersonName object doesn't apply this modifier, PersonNameFormatter just uses the unmodified version of "given".
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 73.
  - PREFIX
```
public static final PersonName.FieldModifier PREFIX
```
    If the field contains a main word with one or more separate prefixes, such as "van den Hul", this requests just the prefixes ("van den"). Only applied to the "surname" field. If the PersonName object doesn't apply this modifier, PersonNameFormatter assumes there are no prefixes.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 73.
  - CORE
```
public static final PersonName.FieldModifier CORE
```
    If the field contains a main word with one or more separate prefixes, such as "van den Hul", this requests just the main word ("Hul"). Only applied to the "surname" field. If the implementing class doesn't apply this modifier, PersonNameFormatter assumes the entire "surname" field is the "core".
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 73.
  - INITIAL
```
public static final PersonName.FieldModifier INITIAL
```
    Requests an initial for the specified field. PersonNameFormatter will do this algorithmically, but a PersonName object can apply this modifier itself if it wants different initial-generation logic (or stores the initial separately).
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 73.
  - MONOGRAM
```
public static final PersonName.FieldModifier MONOGRAM
```
    Requests an initial for the specified field, suitable for use in a monogram (this usually differs from "initial" in that "initial" often adds a period and "monogram" never does). PersonNameFormatter will do this algorithmically, but a PersonName object can apply this modifier itself if it wants different monogram-generation logic.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 73.
  - ALL_CAPS
```
public static final PersonName.FieldModifier ALL_CAPS
```
    Requests the field value converted to ALL CAPS. PersonName objects generally won't need to handle this modifier themselves.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 73.
  - RETAIN
```
@Deprecated
public static final PersonName.FieldModifier RETAIN
```
    Deprecated.
    This API is ICU internal only.
    
    When used in conjunction with "initial", preserves the punctuation between the initials as it existed in the original name field (e.g., "Jean-Claude" initializes into "J-C" instead of "J.C.") Has no effect if "initial" isn't also present in the list of modifiers.
    
    Status:
    Internal. This API is ICU internal only.
  - INITIAL_CAP
```
public static final PersonName.FieldModifier INITIAL_CAP
```
    Requests the field value with the first grapheme of each word converted to titlecase. A PersonName object might handle this modifier itself to capitalize words more selectively.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 73.
  - GENITIVE
```
public static final PersonName.FieldModifier GENITIVE
```
    Requests the genitive form of the field's contents, if possible. The default implementation does nothing, but subclasses of PersonName can override getFieldValue() to produce the genitive form (or just add an "xxx-genitive" entry to a SimplePersonName).
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 74.
  - VOCATIVE
```
public static final PersonName.FieldModifier VOCATIVE
```
    Requests the vocative form of the field's contents, if possible. The default implementation does nothing, but subclasses of PersonName can override getFieldValue() to produce the vocative form (or just add an "xxx-vocative" entry to a SimplePersonName).
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 74.
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static PersonName.FieldModifier[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
    for (PersonName.FieldModifier c : PersonName.FieldModifier.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static PersonName.FieldModifier valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Returns the FieldModifier's display name.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Enum<PersonName.FieldModifier>
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 73.
  - forString
```
public static PersonName.FieldModifier forString(String name)
```
    Returns the appropriate fieldModifier for its display name.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 73.
