java.lang.reflect	Provides classes and interfaces for obtaining reflective information about classes and objects.

Uses of Type in java.lang

Classes in java.lang that implement Type

Modifier and Type	Class and Description
class	Class<T> Instances of the class Class represent classes and interfaces in a running Java application.

Methods in java.lang that return Type

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Type[]	Class.getGenericInterfaces() Returns the Types representing the interfaces directly implemented by the class or interface represented by this object.
Type	Class.getGenericSuperclass() Returns the Type representing the direct superclass of the entity (class, interface, primitive type or void) represented by this Class.

Uses of Type in java.lang.reflect

Subinterfaces of Type in java.lang.reflect

Modifier and Type	Interface and Description
interface	GenericArrayType GenericArrayType represents an array type whose component type is either a parameterized type or a type variable.
interface	ParameterizedType ParameterizedType represents a parameterized type such as Collection<String>.
interface	TypeVariable<D extends GenericDeclaration> TypeVariable is the common superinterface for type variables of kinds.
interface	WildcardType WildcardType represents a wildcard type expression, such as ?, ? extends Number, or ? super Integer.
