EntityProperty (Microsoft Azure Libraries for Java)

java.lang.Object
- com.microsoft.azure.storage.table.EntityProperty

```
public final class EntityProperty
extends Object
```
A class which represents a single typed property value in a table entity. An EntityProperty stores the data type as an EdmType. The value, which may be null for object types, but not for primitive types, is serialized and stored as a String.
EntityProperty provides overloaded constructors and overloads of the setValue method for supported value types. Each overloaded constructor or setValue method sets the EdmType and serializes the value appropriately based on the parameter type.
Use one of the getValueAsType methods to deserialize an EntityProperty as the appropriate Java type. The method will throw a ParseException or IllegalArgumentException if the EntityProperty cannot be deserialized as the Java type.
