Is there any reference which I could check on how Java developers decided to represent type information of a specific object? I know that the Class instance for a particular type is linked to that data structures and acts as an interface to it.
If the question is about how this information is encoded in a class file, it’s described here.
If you want to know how all this is represented in memory, your best bet is the source code of VM implementations.
