@Immutable
@CheckReturnValue
public abstract class CelType
extends java.lang.Object
```
Abstract representation of a CEL type which indicates its CelKind, name, and parameters.
Each type also exposes functions to generate a copy of the type containing fresh type variables, and a function for generating a new instance of the type with a different set of type parameters. These functions are critical for making type inferences.

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`boolean`	`isAssignableFrom(CelType other)`	Determine whether `this` type is assignable from the `other` type value.

protected CelType()
```
- Method Detail
  - kind
```
public abstract CelKind kind()
```
    Return the type CelKind.
  - name
```
public abstract java.lang.String name()
```
    Return the type name.
    For struct types this should be the fully qualified name. Be wary of introducing unqualified type names as they may collide with future CEL type.
  - parameters
```
public com.google.common.collect.ImmutableList<CelType> parameters()
```
    Return the type parameters. e.g. a map's key and value CelType.
  - isAssignableFrom
```
public boolean isAssignableFrom(CelType other)
```
    Determine whether this type is assignable from the other type value.
    Defaults to an equality test.
  - withParameters
```
@CanIgnoreReturnValue
public CelType withParameters(com.google.common.collect.ImmutableList<CelType> parameters)
```
    Instantiate a new copy of this type with alternative parameters.
    If the CelType does not have any parameters, then the return value defaults to the original type instance.
  - withFreshTypeParamVariables
```
@CanIgnoreReturnValue
public CelType withFreshTypeParamVariables(java.util.function.Function<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> varNameGenerator)
```
    Instantiate a new copy of this type with alternative parameters.
    If the CelType does not have any parameters, then the return value defaults to the original type instance.
