  Class | Description
  --- | ---
  AnnotationConstantExpression | Represents an annotation "constant" that may appear in annotation attributes (mainly used as a marker).
  ArgumentListExpression | Represents one or more arguments being passed into a method
  ArrayExpression | Represents an array object construction either using a fixed size or an initializer expression
  AttributeExpression | Represents an attribute access (accessing the field of a class) such as the expression "foo.
  BinaryExpression | Represents two expressions and an operation
  BitwiseNegationExpression |
  BooleanExpression | Represents a boolean expression
  CastExpression | Represents a type cast expression
  ClassExpression | Represents access to a Java/Groovy class in an expression, such as when invoking a static method or accessing a static type
  ClosureExpression | Represents a closure expression such as { statement } or { i -> statement } or { i, x, String y -> statement }
  ClosureListExpression | This class represents a list of expressions used to create closures.
  ConstantExpression | Represents a constant expression such as null, true, false
  ConstructorCallExpression | A constructor call
  DeclarationExpression | Represents one or more local variables.
  ElvisOperatorExpression | Represents a short ternary expression x ?
  EmptyExpression | This class is a place holder for an empty expression.
  Expression | Represents a base class for expressions which evaluate as an object
  FieldExpression | Represents a field access such as the expression "this.foo".
  GStringExpression | Represents a String expression which contains embedded values inside it such as "hello there ${user} how are you" which is expanded lazily
  ListExpression | Represents a list expression [1, 2, 3] which creates a mutable List
  MapEntryExpression | Represents an entry inside a map expression such as 1 : 2.
  MapExpression | Represents a map expression [1 : 2, "a" : "b", x : y] which creates a mutable Map
  MethodCallExpression | A method call on an object or class
  MethodPointerExpression | Represents a method pointer on an object such as foo.

  NotExpression |
  PostfixExpression | Represents a postfix expression like foo++ or bar++
  PrefixExpression | Represents a prefix expression like ++foo or --bar
  PropertyExpression | Represents a property access such as the expression "foo.bar".
  RangeExpression | Represents a range expression such as for iterating.
  SpreadExpression | Represents a spread expression *x in the list expression [1, *x, 2].
  SpreadMapExpression | Represents a spread map expression *:m in the map expression [1, *:m, 2, "c":100] or in the method invoke expression func(1, *:m, 2, "c":100).
  StaticMethodCallExpression | A static method call on a class
  TernaryExpression | Represents a ternary expression (booleanExpression) ?
  TupleExpression | Represents a tuple expression {1, 2, 3} which creates an immutable List
