Java generic API

The "java" generic API models the Java language elements.

Structure of the API

The structure of the API is the following:

• Only "class" and "enum" parent elements can be at the root of each API
• A "class" parent element can have "method" or "field" children. Note that a "property" parent element is a "field"
• An "enum" parent element can have "method" and "constant" children. Note that an enum state is a "constant"

Note that the elements described here are the parent type of the element. See Generic apidocs API types for the list of parent element for each API element.
