From (RestFB 2024.14.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.restfb.types.AbstractFacebookType
- - com.restfb.types.FacebookType
  - - com.restfb.types.NamedFacebookType
    - - com.restfb.types.From

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
public class From
extends NamedFacebookType
```
From type is used as replacement for the case we need a user or a page. Because these both types have different fields we have this special handling. Because the minimal intersection of page and user are id and name, so the From object extends the NamedFacebookType and as fast access name and id are available.
