# Interface java.lang.Cloneable

public interface Cloneable

A class implements the `Cloneable` interface to indicate to the `clone` method in class `Object` that it is legal for that method to make a field-for-field copy of instances of that class.

Attempts to clone instances that do not implement the `Cloneable` interface result in the exception `CloneNotSupportedException` being thrown.
