  - nullOf
```
public static <T> T nullOf(Class<T> objClass)
```
    Returns the single instance of the magic object that represents the "null" value for the given Java class (including array or enum).
    
    Parameters:
    
    objClass - class of the object needed
    
    Returns:
    
    magic object instance that represents the "null" value (not Java null)
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if unable to create a new instance
  - isNull
```
public static boolean isNull(Object object)
```
    Returns whether the given object is the magic object that represents the null value of its class.
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - object or null
    
    Returns:
    
    whether it is the magic null value or false for null input
  - mapOf
```
public static Map<String,Object> mapOf(Object data)
```
    Returns the map to use for the given data that is treated as a map from string key to some value.
    If the input is null, it returns an empty map. If the input is a map, it simply returns the input. Otherwise, it will create a map view using reflection that is backed by the object, so that any changes to the map will be reflected on the object. The map keys of that map view are based on the Key annotation, and null is not a possible map value, although the magic null instance is possible (see nullOf(Class) and isNull(Object)). Iteration order of the data keys is based on the sorted (ascending) key names of the declared fields. Note that since the map view is backed by the object, and that the object may change, many methods in the map view must recompute the field values using reflection, for example Map.size() must check the number of non-null fields.
    
    Parameters:
    
    data - any key value data, represented by an object or a map, or null
    
    Returns:
    
    key/value map to use
  - clone
```
public static <T> T clone(T data)
```
    Returns a deep clone of the given key/value data, such that the result is a completely independent copy.
    This should not be used directly in the implementation of Object.clone(). Instead use deepCopy(Object, Object) for that purpose.
    Final fields cannot be changed and therefore their value won't be copied.
    
    Parameters:
    
    data - key/value data object or map to clone or null for a null return value
    
    Returns:
    
    deep clone or null for null input
  - deepCopy
```
public static void deepCopy(Object src,
                            Object dest)
```
    Makes a deep copy of the given source object into the destination object that is assumed to be constructed using Object.clone().
    Example usage of this method in Object.clone():
```
 @Override
 public MyObject clone() {
 try {
 @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
 MyObject result = (MyObject) super.clone();
 Data.deepCopy(this, result);
 return result;
 } catch (CloneNotSupportedException e) {
 throw new IllegalStateException(e);
 }
 }
 
```
    Final fields cannot be changed and therefore their value won't be copied.
    Parameters:
    
    src - source object
    
    dest - destination object of identical type as source object, and any contained arrays must be the same length
  - isPrimitive
```
public static boolean isPrimitive(Type type)
```
    Returns whether the given type is one of the supported primitive classes like number and date/time, or is a wildcard of one.
    A primitive class is any class for whom Class.isPrimitive() is true, as well as any classes of type: Character, String, Integer, Long, Short, Byte, Float, Double, BigInteger, BigDecimal, Boolean, and DateTime.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - type or null for false result
    
    Returns:
    
    whether it is a primitive
  - isValueOfPrimitiveType
```
public static boolean isValueOfPrimitiveType(Object fieldValue)
```
    Returns whether to given value is null or its class is primitive as defined by isPrimitive(Type).
  - parsePrimitiveValue
```
public static Object parsePrimitiveValue(Type type,
                                         String stringValue)
```
    Parses the given string value based on the given primitive type.
    Types are parsed as follows:
    - Void: null
    - null or is assignable from String (like Object): no parsing
    - char or Character: String.charAt(0) (requires length to be exactly 1)
    - boolean or Boolean: Boolean.valueOf(String)
    - byte or Byte: Byte.valueOf(String)
    - short or Short: Short.valueOf(String)
    - int or Integer: Integer.valueOf(String)
    - long or Long: Long.valueOf(String)
    - float or Float: Float.valueOf(String)
    - double or Double: Double.valueOf(String)
    - BigInteger: BigInteger(String)
    - BigDecimal: BigDecimal(String)
    - DateTime: DateTime.parseRfc3339(String)
    Note that this may not be the right behavior for some use cases.
    Parameters:
    
    type - primitive type or null to parse as a string
    
    stringValue - string value to parse or null for null result
    
    Returns:
    
    parsed object or null for null input
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the given class is not a primitive class
  - newCollectionInstance
```
public static Collection<Object> newCollectionInstance(Type type)
```
    Returns a new collection instance for the given type.
    Creates a new collection instance specified for the first input collection class that matches as follows:
    - null or an array or assignable from ArrayList (like List or Collection or Object): returns an ArrayList
    - assignable from HashSet: returns a HashSet
    - assignable from TreeSet: returns a TreeSet
    - else: calls Types.newInstance(Class)
    Parameters:
    
    type - type or null for ArrayList.
    
    Returns:
    
    new collection instance
    
    Throws:
    
    ClassCastException - if result is does not extend Collection
  - newMapInstance
```
public static Map<String,Object> newMapInstance(Class<?> mapClass)
```
    Returns a new instance of a map based on the given field class.
    Creates a new map instance specified for the first input map class that matches as follows:
    - null or assignable from ArrayMap (like Map or Object): returns an ArrayMap
    - assignable from TreeMap (like SortedMap): returns a TreeMap
    - else: calls Types.newInstance(Class)
    Parameters:
    
    mapClass - field class
    
    Throws:
    
    ClassCastException - if result is does not extend Map
  - resolveWildcardTypeOrTypeVariable
```
public static Type resolveWildcardTypeOrTypeVariable(List<Type> context,
                                                     Type type)
```
    Aggressively resolves the given type in such a way that the resolved type is not a wildcard type or a type variable, returning Object.class if the type variable cannot be resolved.
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - context list, ordering from least specific to most specific type context, for example container class and then its field
    
    type - type or null for null result
    
    Returns:
    
    resolved type (which may be class, parameterized type, or generic array type, but not wildcard type or type variable) or null for null input
