public final class Term
extends Any
```
The Term class is intended to represent the erlang term generic type. It extends the Any class and is basically used the same way as the Any class.
The main difference between Term and Any is the use of guard methods instead for TypeCode to determine the data included in the Term. This actual when cannot determine a Term's value class returned at compile time.
