How This API Document Is Organized

Overview

The Overview page provides a list of all packages with a summary for each. This page can also contain an overall description of the set of packages.

Package

Each package has a page that contains a list of its classes and interfaces, with a summary for each. This page can contain two categories:

• Interfaces
• Classes

Class/Interface

Each class and interface has its own separate page. Each of these pages has three sections consisting of a class/interface description, summary tables, and detailed member descriptions:

• Class inheritance diagram
• Direct Subclasses
• All Known Subinterfaces
• All Known Implementing Classes
• Class/interface declaration
• Class/interface description
• Field Summary
• Property Summary
• Constructor Summary
• Method Summary
• Field Detail
• Property Detail
• Constructor Detail
• Method Detail

Each summary entry contains the first sentence from the detailed description for that item. The summary entries are alphabetical, while the detailed descriptions are in the order they appear in the source code. This preserves the logical groupings established by the programmer.

Tree (Class Hierarchy)

There is a Class Hierarchy page for all packages, plus a hierarchy for each package. Each hierarchy page contains a list of classes and a list of interfaces. The classes are organized by inheritance structure starting with Object. The interfaces do not inherit from Object.

• When viewing the Overview page, clicking on "Tree" displays the hierarchy for all packages.
• When viewing a particular package, class or interface page, clicking "Tree" displays the hierarchy for only that package.

Index

The Index contains an alphabetic list of all classes, interfaces, constructors, methods, and fields.
