- ## Method Summary

  Modifier and Type | Method | Description
  --- | --- | ---
  `static CastExpression` | `asExpression​(ClassNode type, Expression expression)` |

  `String` | `getText()` |
  `boolean` | `isCoerce()` |
  `boolean` | `isIgnoringAutoboxing()` |
  `boolean` | `isStrict()` | If strict mode is true, then when the compiler generates a cast, it will disable Groovy casts and rely on a strict cast (CHECKCAST).
  `void` | `setCoerce​(boolean coerce)` |
  `void` | `setStrict​(boolean strict)` | If strict mode is true, then when the compiler generates a cast, it will disable Groovy casts and rely on a strict cast (CHECKCAST).
