public interface Type<T>
extends Member

The interface Type is similar in function to the class Class. It represents a type of the Java programming language and provides access to its properties (e.g., name, members). In contrast to Class, an instance of Type does not necessarily represent a compiled class (available as byte-code), it may also represent an object which provides functionality similar to real classes.
