Name	Kind	Summary	Introduced	Changed	Deprecated	Removed
`Choice`	Interface	Interface for objects representing Daml choices.	`3.4.8`	-	-	-
`ChoiceFrom`	Interface	The origin companion that contained a [[Choice]].	`3.4.8`	-	-	-
`ContractTypeCompanion`	Interface	Companion objects for templates and interfaces, containing their choices.	`3.4.8`	`3.4.9`: members added: `templateIdWithPackageId`	-	-
`FromTemplate`	Interface	A mixin for [[InterfaceCompanion]]. This supplies the basis for the methods of [[ToInterface]]. Even interfaces that retroactively implement for no templates implement this, because forward implementations still require this marker to work.	`3.4.8`	-	-	-
`Map`	Interface	The counterpart of Daml’s `DA.Map.Map K V` type. This is an immutable map which compares keys via deep equality. The order of iteration is unspecified; the only guarantee is that the order in `keys` and `values` match, i.e. `m.get(k)` is (deep-, value-based) equal to `[...m.values()][[...m.keys()].findIndex((l) => _.isEqual(k, l))]`	`3.4.8`	-	-	-
`Serializable`	Interface	Interface for companion objects of serializable types. Its main purpose is to serialize and deserialize values between raw JSON and typed values.	`3.4.8`	-	-	-
`Template`	Interface	Interface for objects representing Daml templates. It is similar to the `Template` type class in Daml.	`3.4.8`	`3.4.9`: members added: `templateIdWithPackageId`	-	-
`ToInterface`	Interface	A mixin for [[Template]] that provides the `toInterface` and `unsafeFromInterface` contract ID conversion functions. Even templates that directly implement no interfaces implement this, because this also permits conversion with interfaces that supply retroactive implementations to this template.	`3.4.8`	-	-	-
`Unit`	Interface	The counterpart of Daml’s `()` type.	`3.4.8`	-	-	-
`Bool`	Type Alias	The counterpart of Daml’s `Bool` type.	`3.4.8`	-	-	-
`ContractId`	Type Alias	The counterpart of Daml’s `ContractId T` type. We represent `ContractId`s as strings. Their exact format of these strings depends on the ledger the Daml application is running on. The purpose of the intersection with `{ [ContractIdBrand]: T }` is to prevent accidental use of a `ContractId<T>` when a `ContractId<U>` is needed (unless `T` is a subtype of `U`). This technique is known as ”branding” in the TypeScript community.	`3.4.8`	-	-	-
`Date`	Type Alias	The counterpart of Daml’s `Date` type. We represent `Date`s as strings with format `YYYY-MM-DD`.	`3.4.8`	-	-	-

`DisclosedContract`	Type Alias	A disclosed contract that can be passed on a command submission.	`3.4.8`	-	-	-
`Int`	Type Alias	The counterpart of Daml’s `Int` type. We represent `Int`s as string in order to avoid a loss of precision.	`3.4.8`	-	-	-

`Numeric`	Type Alias	The counterpart of Daml’s `Numeric` type. We represent `Numeric`s as string in order to avoid a loss of precision. The string must match the regular expression `-?(?:0\|[1-9]\d*)(?:\.\d+)?(?:[eE][+-]?\d+)?`.	`3.4.8`	-	-	-
`Optional`	Type Alias	The counterpart of Daml’s `Optional T` type.	`3.4.8`	-	-	-
`Party`	Type Alias	The counterpart of Daml’s `Party` type. We represent `Party`s as strings matching the regular expression `[A-Za-z0-9:_\- ]+`.	`3.4.8`	-	-	-
`TemplateOrInterface`	Type Alias	-	`3.4.8`	`3.4.9`: signature updated; type parameter renamed: `I` -> `Id`	-	-
