/**
 * @defgroup field_types Field Types API
 * @{
 * Defines field, widget, display formatter, and storage types.
 *
 * In the Field API, each field has a type, which determines what kind of data
 * (integer, string, date, etc.) the field can hold, which settings it provides,
 * and so on. The data type(s) accepted by a field are defined in
 * hook_field_schema().
 *
 * Field types are plugins annotated with class
 * \Drupal\Core\Field\Annotation\FieldType, and implement plugin interface
 * \Drupal\Core\Field\FieldItemInterface. Field Type plugins are managed by the
 * \Drupal\Core\Field\FieldTypePluginManager class. Field type classes usually
 * extend base class \Drupal\Core\Field\FieldItemBase. Field-type plugins need
 * to be in the namespace \Drupal\{your_module}\Plugin\Field\FieldType. See the
 * @link plugin_api Plugin API topic @endlink for more information on how to
 * define plugins.
 *
 * The Field Types API also defines two kinds of pluggable handlers: widgets
 * and formatters. @link field_widget Widgets @endlink specify how the field
 * appears in edit forms, while @link field_formatter formatters @endlink
 * specify how the field appears in displayed entities.
 *
 * See @link field Field API @endlink for information about the other parts of
 * the Field API.
