Package Summary Overview Summary

### class:RecordComponent [NONE]
All Implemented Interfaces: `AnnotatedElement`
    public final class RecordComponent
    extends Object
    implements AnnotatedElement
This class is associated with records, a preview feature of the Java language. Preview features may be removed in a future release, or upgraded to permanent features of the Java language. A `RecordComponent` provides information about, and dynamic access to, a component of a record class. Since: 14 See Also: `Class.getRecordComponents()`, `Record`

### method:getName() [NONE]
### getName public String getName() Returns the name of this record component. Returns: the name of this record component

### method:getType() [NONE]
### getType public Class<?> getType() Returns a `Class` that identifies the declared type for this record component. Returns: a `Class` identifying the declared type of the component represented by this record component

### method:getGenericSignature() [NONE]
### getGenericSignature public String getGenericSignature() Returns a `String` that describes the generic type signature for this record component. Returns: a `String` that describes the generic type signature for this record component

### method:getGenericType() [NONE]
### getGenericType public Type getGenericType() Returns a `Type` object that represents the declared type for this record component. If the declared type of the record component is a parameterized type, the `Type` object returned reflects the actual type arguments used in the source code. If the type of the underlying record component is a type variable or a parameterized type, it is created. Otherwise, it is resolved. Returns: a `Type` object that represents the declared type for this record component Throws: `GenericSignatureFormatError` - if the generic record component signature does not conform to the format specified in The Java™ Virtual Machine Specification `TypeNotPresentException` - if the generic type signature of the underlying record component refers to a non-existent type declaration `MalformedParameterizedTypeException` - if the generic signature of the underlying record component refers to a parameterized type that cannot be instantiated for any reason

### method:getAnnotatedType() [NONE]
### getAnnotatedType public AnnotatedType getAnnotatedType() Returns an `AnnotatedType` object that represents the use of a type to specify the declared type of this record component. Returns: an object representing the declared type of this record component

### method:getAccessor() [NONE]
### getAccessor public Method getAccessor() Returns a `Method` that represents the accessor for this record component. Returns: a `Method` that represents the accessor for this record component

### method:getAnnotation(java.lang.Class) [NONE]
### getAnnotation public <T extends Annotation> T getAnnotation?(Class<T> annotationClass) Returns this element's annotation for the specified type if such an annotation is present, else null. Note that any annotation returned by this method is a declaration annotation. Specified by: `getAnnotation` in interface `AnnotatedElement` Type Parameters: `T` - the type of the annotation to query for and return if present Parameters: `annotationClass` - the Class object corresponding to the annotation type Returns: this element's annotation for the specified annotation type if present on this element, else null Throws: `NullPointerException` - if the given annotation class is null

### method:getAnnotations() [NONE]
### getAnnotations public Annotation[] getAnnotations() Returns annotations that are present on this element. If there are no annotations present on this element, the return value is an array of length 0. The caller of this method is free to modify the returned array; it will have no effect on the arrays returned to other callers. Note that any annotations returned by this method are declaration annotations. Specified by: `getAnnotations` in interface `AnnotatedElement` Returns: annotations present on this element

### method:getDeclaredAnnotations() [NONE]
### getDeclaredAnnotations public Annotation[] getDeclaredAnnotations() Returns annotations that are directly present on this element. This method ignores inherited annotations. If there are no annotations directly present on this element, the return value is an array of length 0. The caller of this method is free to modify the returned array; it will have no effect on the arrays returned to other callers. Note that any annotations returned by this method are declaration annotations. Specified by: `getDeclaredAnnotations` in interface `AnnotatedElement` Returns: annotations directly present on this element

### method:toString() [NONE]
### toString public String toString() Returns a string describing this record component. The format is the record component type, followed by a space, followed by the name of the record component. For example:
        java.lang.String name
        int age
Overrides: `toString` in class `Object` Returns: a string describing this record component

### method:getDeclaringRecord() [NONE]
### getDeclaringRecord public Class<?> getDeclaringRecord() Returns the record class which declares this record component. Returns: The record class declaring this record component.
