BalduinLandolt opened a new issue, #2248:
URL: https://github.com/apache/jena/issues/2248
### Version
4.10.0
### What happened?
on `org.apache.jena.rdf.model.Literal`, the documentation states:
```java
/**
* If the literal is interpretable as a string return its value.
* For typed literals this will throw an error for non string
* literals and one needs to use getLexicalForm to return the
* string form of other datatypes.
*
* @return the literal string
*/
public String getString() ;
```
however, when I call `getString()` on a literal that is not a string (e.g.
`xsd:float`), I do not get an exception but instead it returns the lexical
value. This is obviously in contrast to the javadoc.
I think the code in question is in `package
org.apache.jena.rdf.model.impl.LiteralImpl`:
```java
@Override
public String getString() {
return asNode().getLiteralLexicalForm();
}
```
