```
public static Api fromSymbol(com.sun.tools.javac.code.Symbol.MethodSymbol symbol,
                             VisitorState state)
```
    Returns the Api representation of the given symbol.
  - className
```
public abstract String className()
```
    Returns the fully qualified type that contains the given method/constructor.
  - methodName
```
public abstract String methodName()
```
    Returns the simple name of the method. If the API is a constructor (i.e., isConstructor() == true), then "<init>" is returned.
  - parameterTypes
```
public abstract com.google.common.collect.ImmutableList<String> parameterTypes()
```
    Returns the list of fully qualified parameter types for the given method/constructor.
  - toString
```
public final String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
  - parse
```
public static Api parse(String api)
```
    Parses an API string into an Api. Example API strings are:
    
    a constructor (e.g., java.net.URI#<init>(java.lang.String))
    a static method (e.g., java.net.URI#create(java.lang.String))
    an instance method (e.g., java.util.List#get(int))
    an instance method with types erased (e.g., java.util.List#add(java.lang.Object))
