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

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
