Type ("The Adobe AEM Quickstart and Web Application.")

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.api.Type<T>

Type Parameters:

T -

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable<Type<?>>
```
public final class Type<T>
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Comparable<Type<?>>
```
Instances of this class map Java types to property types. Passing an instance of this class to PropertyState.getValue(Type) determines the return type of that method.
