Detailed Description
Namespace for the xAOD object types
The reason for introducing an extra namespace like this is so the users will write things like if( mypart->type() == xAOD::Type::Muon ) {...} instead of using xAOD::MuonType or something similar.
Enumeration Type Documentation
Type of objects that have a representation in the xAOD EDM
xAOD classes identify themselves by all of them providing a function with the signature:
xAOD::Type::ObjectType type() const;
This can be used to easily identify what sort of object some generic code is dealing with, avoiding doing a lot of dynamic_cast-s instead.
Note that Doxygen doesn't allow to group enumeration variables together like it does for members of a class, that's why the grouping comments are not created according to the Doxygen rules.
