## Interface ParameterSet

- All Superinterfaces:
    Serializable
  All Known Subinterfaces:
    Authentication, PropertyConfiguration, PropertyConfiguration.PropertyConfigurationEditor, QueryConfiguration

      public interface ParameterSet
      extends Serializable

  Interface for name-value parameter sets management.

  A ParameterSet is considered immutable, so only read methods are exposed.

  Each parameter must me identified by a `String` name, unique within the set, and associated to a value of any type. `null` values are allowed.

  Since:
    4.5.0

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### hasParameters

          boolean hasParameters()

      Check if some parameter is present
      Returns:
        `true` if some parameter is present, `false` if set is empty.

    - #### hasParameter

          boolean hasParameter(String name)

      Check if parameter is present using parameter `name`. `null` parameter values are allowed, so if a parameter is present it doesn't means that it has a value.
      Parameters:

      Returns:
        `true` if parameter is present, `false` otherwise

    - #### hasNotNullParameter
