ObjectType (ph-commons 11.1.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.helger.commons.type.ObjectType

All Implemented Interfaces:

IComparable<ObjectType>, IHasName, Comparable<ObjectType>
```
@Immutable
public class ObjectType
extends Object
implements IComparable<ObjectType>, IHasName
```
This class encapsulates an internal object type.
Note: it is not based on an interface, because this may lead to difficulties comparing different object type implementations of the same interface. By not using an interface, implementers are forced to use exactly this implementation class.
