Hi Jeremie!

Yes, types have an isInstance() operation.

MyType.isInstance(someObject)

Regards,
~Karsten

Hello,

every MetaType has a static method isInstance.
E.g.: Entity.isInstance(e)

See: Xpand Documentation > Built-in types API documentation
xpand2::Type

Regards
Darius

Note, that those methods are not static. MetaType is a typeliteral
similar to MetaType.class in Java.
