java.lang.Object
- jakarta.mail.Address

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

InternetAddress, NewsAddress
```
public abstract class Address
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable
```
This abstract class models the addresses in a message. Subclasses provide specific implementations. Subclasses will typically be serializable so that (for example) the use of Address objects in search terms can be serialized along with the search terms.

  - getType
```
public abstract java.lang.String getType()
```
    Return a type string that identifies this address type.
    
    Returns:
    
    address type

  - toString
```
public abstract java.lang.String toString()
```
    Return a String representation of this address object.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
    
    Returns:
    
    string representation of this address
  - equals
```
public abstract boolean equals(java.lang.Object address)
```
    The equality operator. Subclasses should provide an implementation of this method that supports value equality (do the two Address objects represent the same destination?), not object reference equality. A subclass must also provide a corresponding implementation of the hashCode method that preserves the general contract of equals and hashCode - objects that compare as equal must have the same hashCode.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class java.lang.Object
    
    Parameters:
    
    address - Address object
