```
public interface ValueMapping
extends MappingModelExpressible, JavaTypedExpressible
```
Describes a mapping related to any part of the app's domain model - e.g. an attribute, an entity identifier, collection elements, etc NOTE : this does not include EntityPersister, which however is a ValueMappingContainer Used in generation of SQL AST

- Method Detail
  - getMappedType
```
MappingType getMappedType()
```
    Descriptor for the type of this mapping
  - getExpressibleJavaType
```
default JavaType<?> getExpressibleJavaType()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getExpressibleJavaType in interface JavaTypedExpressible
  - treatAs
```
default <X> X treatAs(Class<X> targetType)
```
    return null; Treat operation. Asks the ValueMapping to treat itself as the given `targetType`, if it can.
    
    "API Note:"
    
    This is not necessarily limited to things the ValueMapping itself implements.
    
    "Implementation Note:"
    
    This default implementation is however limited to just things the ValueMapping itself implements.
