public enum Unit extends Enum<Unit>
A type with only one non-null value. This is a convenient alternative to using a null Object in situations where no meaningful information can be communicated, and yet `void` is not an appropriate type, such as in generic contexts.

This type should only be referenced in a JSON parsing context. If a unit type is desired for other purposes, one should be defined for that context specifically. No other component should depend on this library just because it defines this type.
