Modifier and Type	Class and Description
public abstract static class	MethodDescription.AbstractBase An abstract base implementation of a method description.
public static class	MethodDescription.ForLoadedConstructor An implementation of a method description for a loaded constructor.
public static class	MethodDescription.ForLoadedMethod An implementation of a method description for a loaded method.
public static interface	MethodDescription.InDefinedShape Represents a method in its defined shape, i.e. in the form it is defined by a class without its type variables being resolved.
public static interface	MethodDescription.InGenericShape Represents a method description in its generic shape, i.e. in the shape it is defined by a generic or raw type.
public static class	MethodDescription.Latent A latent method description describes a method that is not attached to a declaring `TypeDescription`.
public static class	MethodDescription.SignatureToken A token representing a method's name and raw return and parameter types.
public static class	MethodDescription.Token A token representing a method's properties detached from a type.
public static class	MethodDescription.TypeSubstituting A method description that represents a given method but with substituted method types.
public static class	MethodDescription.TypeToken A token representing a method's erased return and parameter types.

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
public static final String	CONSTRUCTOR_INTERNAL_NAME The internal name of a Java constructor.
public static final String	TYPE_INITIALIZER_INTERNAL_NAME The internal name of a Java static initializer.
public static final int	TYPE_INITIALIZER_MODIFIER The type initializer of any representation of a type initializer.
public static final MethodDescription.InDefinedShape	UNDEFINED Hides net.bytebuddy.description.TypeVariableSource.UNDEFINED. Represents any undefined property of a type description that is instead represented as `null` in order to resemble the Java reflection API which returns `null` and is intuitive to many Java developers.
