Interface MetaDataModel

All Known Subinterfaces:

DefinedMapMetaDataModel, ExampleBasedMetaDataModel, ListMetaDataModel, ParameterizedMapMetaDataModel, PojoMetaDataModel, QueryResultMetaDataModel, SimpleMetaDataModel, StructuredMetaDataModel, UnknownMetaDataModel, XmlMetaDataModel

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractMetaDataModel, AbstractStructuredMetaDataModel, DefaultDefinedMapMetaDataModel, DefaultExampleBasedMetaDataModel, DefaultListMetaDataModel, DefaultParameterizedMapMetaDataModel, DefaultPojoMetaDataModel, DefaultQueryResultMetaDataModel, DefaultSimpleMetaDataModel, DefaultStructuredMetadataModel, DefaultUnknownMetaDataModel, DefaultXmlMetaDataModel

public interface MetaDataModel

This represents a model for metadata. Could be either Pojo, List, Xml or even some Dynamic Object whose fields can variate over time.

It is highly recommended to use the DefaultMetaDataBuilder to build the model you want to use for describe your entities/types
