EntityType (javers-core 5.3.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.javers.core.metamodel.type.JaversType
- - org.javers.core.metamodel.type.ManagedType
  - - org.javers.core.metamodel.type.EntityType

Direct Known Subclasses:

ShallowReferenceType
```
public class EntityType
extends ManagedType
```
Entity class in client's domain model.

Has list of mutable properties and its own identity hold in idProperty.

Two Entity instances are compared using idProperty, see InstanceId

Example:
```
     class Person {
        @Id
         private int    personId;
         private String firstName;
         private String lastName;
         ...
     }
 
```
