## Uses of Interface
java.lang.reflect.Type

Packages that use Type
java.lang | Provides classes that are fundamental to the design of the Java programming language.
java.lang.reflect | Provides classes and interfaces for obtaining reflective information about classes and objects.

Uses of Type in java.lang

Classes in java.lang that implement Type
`class` | `Class<T>` Instances of the class `Class` represent classes and interfaces in a running Java application.

Methods in java.lang that return Type
`Type[]` | `Class.getGenericInterfaces()` Returns the `Type`s representing the interfaces directly implemented by the class or interface represented by this object.
`Type` | `Class.getGenericSuperclass()` Returns the `Type` representing the direct superclass of the entity (class, interface, primitive type or void) represented by this `Class`.

Uses of Type in java.lang.reflect

Subinterfaces of Type in java.lang.reflect
`interface` | `GenericArrayType` `GenericArrayType` represents an array type whose component type is either a parameterized type or a type variable.
`interface` | `ParameterizedType` ParameterizedType represents a parameterized type such as Collection<String>.
`interface` | `TypeVariable<D extends GenericDeclaration>` TypeVariable is the common superinterface for type variables of kinds.
`interface` | `WildcardType` WildcardType represents a wildcard type expression, such as `?`, `? extends Number`, or `? super Integer`.

Methods in java.lang.reflect that return Type
`Type[]` | `ParameterizedType.getActualTypeArguments()` Returns an array of `Type` objects representing the actual type arguments to this type.
`Type[]` | `TypeVariable.getBounds()` Returns an array of `Type` objects representing the upper bound(s) of this type variable.
`Type` | `GenericArrayType.getGenericComponentType()` Returns a `Type` object representing the component type of this array.
`Type[]` | `Method.getGenericExceptionTypes()` Returns an array of `Type` objects that represent the exceptions declared to be thrown by this `Method` object.
`Type[]` | `Constructor.getGenericExceptionTypes()` Returns an array of `Type` objects that represent the exceptions declared to be thrown by this `Constructor` object.
`Type[]` | `Method.getGenericParameterTypes()` Returns an array of `Type` objects that represent the formal parameter types, in declaration order, of the method represented by this `Method` object.
`Type[]` | `Constructor.getGenericParameterTypes()` Returns an array of `Type` objects that represent the formal parameter types, in declaration order, of the method represented by this `Constructor` object.
`Type` | `Method.getGenericReturnType()` Returns a `Type` object that represents the formal return type of the method represented by this `Method` object.
`Type` | `Field.getGenericType()` Returns a `Type` object that represents the declared type for the field represented by this `Field` object.
`Type[]` | `WildcardType.getLowerBounds()` Returns an array of `Type` objects representing the lower bound(s) of this type variable.
`Type` | `ParameterizedType.getOwnerType()` Returns a `Type` object representing the type that this type is a member of.
`Type` | `ParameterizedType.getRawType()` Returns the `Type` object representing the class or interface that declared this type.
`Type[]` | `WildcardType.getUpperBounds()` Returns an array of `Type` objects representing the upper bound(s) of this type variable.
