java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<Type>
- - com.arcadedb.schema.Type

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Type>
```
public enum Type
extends Enum<Type>
```
Generic representation of a type.
allowAssignmentFrom accepts any class, but Array.class means that the type accepts generic Arrays.

```
public static Type[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
    for (Type c : Type.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static Type valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - getById
```
public static Type getById(byte iId)
```
    Return the type by ID.
    
    Parameters:
    
    iId - The id to search
    
    Returns:
    
    The type if any, otherwise null
  - validateValue
```
public static void validateValue(Object value)
```
  - getId
```
public int getId()
```
    Get the identifier of the type. use this instead of Enum.ordinal() for guarantee a cross code version identifier.
    
    Returns:
    
    the identifier of the type.
  - getTypeByClass
```
public static Type getTypeByClass(Class<?> iClass)
```
    Return the correspondent type by checking the "assignability" of the class received as parameter.
    
    Parameters:
    
    iClass - Class to check
    
    Returns:
    
    OType instance if found, otherwise null
  - getTypeByValue
```
public static Type getTypeByValue(Object value)

```
  - isSimpleType
```
public static boolean isSimpleType(Object iObject)
```
  - convert
