public class TokenTypeConstant
extends Object
```
A collection of constant descriptors and utilities for the supported token types. Included are a number of convenience methods for use in statically constructing record types. Using these methods with static imports provides a concise and clear way to describe schemas. An example of this is described in the documentation for record(Field...).
