 ** kind **   <a name="appsync-Type-DataSourceIntrospectionModelFieldType-kind"></a>
Specifies the classification of data. For example, this could be set to values like `Scalar` or `NonNull` to indicate a fundamental property of the field.  
Valid values include:  
+  `Scalar`: Indicates the value is a primitive type (scalar).
+  `NonNull`: Indicates the field cannot be `null`.
+  `List`: Indicates the field contains a list.
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** name **   <a name="appsync-Type-DataSourceIntrospectionModelFieldType-name"></a>
The name of the data type that represents the field. For example, `String` is a valid `name` value.  
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** type **   <a name="appsync-Type-DataSourceIntrospectionModelFieldType-type"></a>
The `DataSourceIntrospectionModelFieldType` object data. The `type` is only present if `DataSourceIntrospectionModelFieldType.kind` is set to `NonNull` or `List`.   
The `type` typically contains its own `kind` and `name` fields to represent the actual type data. For instance, `type` could contain a `kind` value of `Scalar` with a `name` value of `String`. The values `Scalar` and `String` will be collectively stored in the `values` field.  
Type: [DataSourceIntrospectionModelFieldType](#API_DataSourceIntrospectionModelFieldType) object  
Required: No

 ** values **   <a name="appsync-Type-DataSourceIntrospectionModelFieldType-values"></a>
The values of the `type` field. This field represents the AppSync data type equivalent of the introspected field.  
Type: Array of strings  
Required: No
