      • isAssignableFrom

        public boolean isAssignableFrom​(Type type)
        Tests whether this collection type is assignable from another collection type. This is only true if this type's element type is assignable from the other collection type's element type and the type of collections are assignable.
        Specified by:
        isAssignableFrom in class Type
        Parameters:
        type - the type to be checked.
        See Also:
        isTypeAssignableFrom(int, int)

      • isInstance

        public boolean isInstance​(java.lang.Object o)
        Tests if a given object is instance of this collection type. This checks the type of collection and each element of being instance of the element type.

        Since all elements are checked this method is considerably costly so use with care!

        Specified by:
        isInstance in class Type
        Parameters:
        o - the object to be checked.
