- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static GenericTypeDescription.Sort[] 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 (GenericTypeDescription.Sort c : GenericTypeDescription.Sort.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static GenericTypeDescription.Sort 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
  - describe
```
public static GenericTypeDescription describe(Type type)
```
    Describes a loaded generic type as a GenericTypeDescription.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - The type to describe.
    
    Returns:
    
    A description of the provided generic type.
  - isNonGeneric
```
public boolean isNonGeneric()
```
    Checks if this type form represents a non-generic type.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this type form represents a non-generic.
  - isParameterized
```
public boolean isParameterized()
```
    Checks if this type form represents a parameterized type.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this type form represents a parameterized type.
  - isGenericArray
```
public boolean isGenericArray()
```
    Checks if this type form represents a generic array.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this type form represents a generic array.
  - isWildcard
```
public boolean isWildcard()
```
    Checks if this type form represents a wildcard.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this type form represents a wildcard.
  - isTypeVariable
```
public boolean isTypeVariable()
```
    Checks if this type form represents an attached type variable.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this type form represents an attached type variable.
  - isDetachedTypeVariable
```
public boolean isDetachedTypeVariable()
```
    Checks if this type form represents a detached type variable.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this type form represents a detached type variable.
  - isSymbolicTypeVariable
```
public boolean isSymbolicTypeVariable()
```
    Checks if this type form represents a symbolic type variable.
