interface ClassMetadataInterface implements MetadataInterface
Stores all metadata needed for validating objects of specific class.
Most importantly, the metadata stores the constraints against which an object and its properties should be validated.
Additionally, the metadata stores whether the "Default" group is overridden by a group sequence for that class and whether instances of that class should be traversed or not.

Details
int getCascadingStrategy()
Returns the strategy for cascading objects.
int getTraversalStrategy()
Returns the strategy for traversing traversable objects.
Constraint[] getConstraints()
Returns all constraints of this element.
Constraint[] findConstraints(string $group)
Returns all constraints for a given validation group.
string[] getConstrainedProperties()
Returns the names of all constrained properties.
bool hasGroupSequence()
Returns whether the "Default" group is overridden by a group sequence.
If it is, you can access the group sequence with {@link getGroupSequence()}.
GroupSequence|null getGroupSequence()
Returns the group sequence that overrides the "Default" group for this class.
bool isGroupSequenceProvider()
Returns whether the "Default" group is overridden by a dynamic group sequence obtained by the validated objects.
If this method returns true, the class must implement {@link \Symfony\Component\Validator\GroupSequenceProviderInterface}. This interface will be used to obtain the group sequence when an object of this class is validated.
bool hasPropertyMetadata(string $property)
Check if there's any metadata attached to the given named property.
PropertyMetadataInterface[] getPropertyMetadata(string $property)
Returns all metadata instances for the given named property.
If your implementation does not support properties, simply throw an exception in this method (for example a BadMethodCallException).
string getClassName()
Returns the name of the backing PHP class.
