Description
A complex type that represents all user-defined tokens in the Body of an ApexClass, ApexClassMember, or ApexTriggerMember and their associated line and column locations within the Body.

This field is null if the symbol table cannot be created.

Usage

To retrieve information about an Apex class, create an ApexClass object that references it. For example code, see Using Tooling SOAP API.

To edit, save, or compile Apex classes, use ApexClassMember.

If there is not a cached version of SymbolTable, it will be compiled in the background and the query might take longer than expected. The SymbolTable returned from ApexClass does not contain references; to retrieve a SymbolTable with references, use ApexClassMember.
