# Interface Superclass

All Superinterfaces:
  `ClassElement, ClassFileElement`

public sealed interface Superclass extends ClassElement
Models the superclass (JVMS 4.1) of a class. A `Superclass` appears at most once in a `ClassModel`: it must be absent for module descriptors or the `Object` class, and must be present otherwise. A `ClassBuilder` sets the `Object` class as the superclass if the superclass is not supplied and the class to build is required to have a superclass.

All interfaces have `Object` as their superclass.
