ConnectApi Input Classes

Input classes are concrete unless marked abstract in this documentation. Concrete input classes have public constructors that take no arguments.

Some methods take arguments typed with an abstract class. You must pass in an instance of a concrete child class for these arguments.

Most properties for the input classes can be set. Read-only properties are noted in this documentation.
