```
public enum DataType
extends Enum<DataType>
```
Represents all data types that can be referenced from a Visualforce page. This enum consolidates the data types available to CustomFields and Apex. It uses the naming convention of CustomFields.

Indicates that Metatada was found, but it's type was not mappable. This could because it is a type which isn't mapped, or it was an edge case where the type was ambiguously defined in the Metadata.

Field Detail
- requiresEscaping
```
public final boolean requiresEscaping
```
  True if this field is an XSS risk

Method Detail
- values
```
public static DataType[] values()
```
  Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (DataType c : DataType.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
  Returns:
  
  an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
- valueOf
```
public static DataType valueOf(String name)
```
  Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
  
  Parameters:
  
  name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
  
  Returns:
  
  the enum constant with the specified name
  
  Throws:
  
  IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
  
  NullPointerException - if the argument is null
- fromString
```
public static DataType fromString(String value)
```
  Map to correct instance, returns Unknown if the value can't be mapped.
- fromBasicType
```
@Deprecated
public static DataType fromBasicType(apex.jorje.semantic.symbol.type.BasicType value)
```
  Deprecated.
  Use fromTypeName(String) instead.
  
  Map to correct instance, returns Unknown if the value can't be mapped.
- fromTypeName
```
public static DataType fromTypeName(String value)
```
  Map to correct instance, returns Unknown if the value can't be mapped.
