NAME

Type::API - a common interface for type constraints, based on observed patterns (documentation only)

DESCRIPTION

This distribution documents common patterns used by type constraint libraries: in particular the methods that type constraints typically provide, their parameters, return values, and expected behaviour.

Type constraint libraries typically provide more methods than these, but by restricting your code to making use of those documented in Type::API, you may be able to improve your code's interoperability.
