Detailed Description

The Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Metamodel::Type class describes the type information of a typed element in the interface definiton language. The following elements in the metamodel are typed:

Field element in a structure element. See :attr:Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Metamodel::StructureInfo.fields
Parameter element in an operation element. See :attr:Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Metamodel::OperationInfo.params
Result element in an operation element. See :attr:Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Metamodel::OperationInfo.output

The type could be one of the three following categories:

Built-in types: These are types present in the interface definition language type system. They are provided by the infrastructure.
User defined named type: API designers can create custom types and use them for the typed elements. These types have a unique identifier.
Generic type instantiation: The language infrastructure also provides generic types such as list, map, set and so on. An instantiation of one of these generic types could also be used for the typed elements.
