      • isPrimitive

        public static boolean isPrimitive​(Type type)
        Returns true if this type is a primitive.

      • wrap

        public static <T> Class<T> wrap​(Class<T> type)
        Returns the corresponding wrapper type of type if it is a primitive type; otherwise returns type itself. Idempotent. 
             wrap(int.class) == Integer.class
     wrap(Integer.class) == Integer.class
     wrap(String.class) == String.class

      • unwrap

        public static <T> Class<T> unwrap​(Class<T> type)
        Returns the corresponding primitive type of type if it is a wrapper type; otherwise returns type itself. Idempotent. 
             unwrap(Integer.class) == int.class
     unwrap(int.class) == int.class
     unwrap(String.class) == String.class
