  - iterator
```
java.util.Iterator<Any> iterator()
```
    Specified by:
    
    iterator in interface java.lang.Iterable<Any>
    
    Returns:
    iterator over elements. For Value, this return an iterator about the value itself. For AnyMap it returns an iterator on the values.
  - isEmpty
```
boolean isEmpty()
```
    Returns:
    true, if the Any does not have content. For Value: returns always false.
  - size
```
int size()
```
    Returns:

```
    returns this Any as an AnyMap object or throws an InvalidValueTypeException.
  - asSeq
```
AnySeq asSeq()
```
    returns this Any as an AnySeq object or throws an InvalidValueTypeException.
