In object-oriented programming, a metaclass is a class whose instances are classes.

#REDIRECT [[MetaClass]]
Just as an ordinary class defines the behavior of certain objects, a metaclass defines the behavior of certain classes and their instances. Not all object-oriented programming languages support metaclasses.
+
Among those that do, the extent to which metaclasses can override any given aspect of class behavior varies.
+
Each language has its own metaobject protocol, a set of rules that govern how objects, classes, and metaclasses interact.
+
 
+
Often [[Namespaces]] are used as identifiers in Metaclasses, to distinguish different classes.
