- Method Detail
  - getOwningType
```
public TypeInformation<?> getOwningType()
```
    Returns the owning type of the PropertyPath.
    
    Returns:
    
    the owningType will never be null.
  - getSegment
```
public String getSegment()
```
    Returns the name of the PropertyPath.
    
    Returns:
    
    the name will never be null.
  - getLeafProperty
```
public PropertyPath getLeafProperty()
```
    Returns the leaf property of the PropertyPath.
    
    Returns:
    
    will never be null.
  - getLeafType
```
public Class<?> getLeafType()
```
    Returns the type of the leaf property of the current PropertyPath.
    
    Returns:
    
    will never be null.
  - getType
```
public Class<?> getType()
```
    Returns the type of the property will return the plain resolved type for simple properties, the component type for any Iterable or the value type of a Map if the property is one.
    
    Returns:
  - getTypeInformation
```
public TypeInformation<?> getTypeInformation()
```
  - next
```
@Nullable
public PropertyPath next()
```
    Returns the next nested PropertyPath.
    
    Returns:
    
    the next nested PropertyPath or null if no nested PropertyPath available.
    
    See Also:
    
    hasNext()
  - hasNext
```
public boolean hasNext()
```
    Returns whether there is a nested PropertyPath. If this returns true you can expect next() to return a non- null value.
    
    Returns:
  - toDotPath
```
public String toDotPath()
```
    Returns the PropertyPath in dot notation.
    
    Returns:
  - isCollection
```
public boolean isCollection()
```
    Returns whether the PropertyPath is actually a collection.
    
    Returns:
  - nested
```
public PropertyPath nested(String path)
```
    Returns the PropertyPath for the path nested under the current property.
    
    Parameters:
    
    path - must not be null or empty.
    
    Returns:
    
    will never be null.
  - iterator
```
public Iterator<PropertyPath> iterator()
```
    Specified by:
    
    iterator in interface Iterable<PropertyPath>
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object o)
```
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
  - from
```
public static PropertyPath from(String source,
                                Class<?> type)
```
    Extracts the PropertyPath chain from the given source String and type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    source -
    
    type -
    
    Returns:
  - from
```
public static PropertyPath from(String source,
                                TypeInformation<?> type)
```
    Extracts the PropertyPath chain from the given source String and TypeInformation.
    Uses SPLITTER by default and SPLITTER_FOR_QUOTED for quoted literals.
    
    Parameters:
    
    source - must not be null.
    
    type -
    
    Returns:
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
