# Field Class

A Field is a section of a Document. Each Field has two parts, a name and a value. Values may be free text, provided as a String or as a Reader, or they may be atomic keywords, which are not further processed. Such keywords may be used to represent dates, urls, etc. Fields are optionally stored in the index, so that they may be returned with hits on the document.

For a list of all members of this type, see Field Members.
