Enum Class Type
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
,Comparable<Type>
,Constable
Enumeration of all possible types accessed by the Inspector API.
Note that:
- the EMPTY type is used as a placeholder where data is missing.
- all integers are put into LONGs; the encoding takes care of
packing small integers compactly so this is also efficient.
- likeweise DOUBLE is the only floating-point type, but "simple"
numbers (like 0.0 or 1.0) are packed compactly anyway.
- DATA can be used anything for wrapping anything else serialized
as an array of bytes.
- maps should be represented as an ARRAY of OBJECTs where each
object has the fields "key" and "value".
