EntityTag (Oracle REST Data Services Java API Reference)

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.CharSequence
```
public interface EntityTag
extends java.lang.CharSequence
```
ETag header values MUST conform to the syntax mandated in RFC 2616 section 3.11:
```
 
 entity-tag = [ weak ] opaque-tag
 weak       = "W/"
 opaque-tag = quoted-string
 
 
```
See RFC 2616 section 2.2 for definition of the quoted-string production. Also see RFC 7230 section 3.2.6 which updates the definition of quoted-string to remove ambiguity about escaping within quoted strings.
