Case-insensitive matching of a string to a Java enum

Question

Java provides a valueOf() method for every Enum object, so given an enum like

public enum Day {
         


        

Answer 1

I haven't tested this yet but why not overloading these methods as mentioned in this SO answer

public enum Regular {
    NONE,
    HOURLY,
    DAILY,
    WEEKLY;

    public String getName() {
        return this.name().toLowerCase();
    }    
}
