public interface SoyType

Interface for all classes that describe a data type in Soy. These types are used to determine what kinds of values can be bound to a template or function parameter.

Note that this type hierarchy only describes types that are visible from a template author's perspective. Actual Soy values may have types which fall outside this hierarchy. An example is Futures - a SoyValue may contain a future of a type, but since the future is always resolved before the value is used, the future type is invisible as far as the template is concerned.

All type objects are immutable.

Important: Do not use outside of Soy code (treat as superpackage-private).
