StatementTree, Tree

All Known Implementing Classes:

SwitchStatementTreeImpl
```
@Beta
public interface SwitchStatementTree
extends StatementTree

   switch ( expression() ) {
     cases()
   }
 
```
Since:

Java 1.3, SonarJava 5.12: Starting from this version and introduction of support of Java 12, this Tree is now only a wrapper on top of a SwitchExpressionTree. Syntactically, each SwitchStatementTree now has a SwitchExpressionTree as direct and only child.
