Package net.sf.adatagenerator.api Description

The API package is composed of Java interfaces, abstract classes and Exception classes that the define A Data Generator (ADG) framework. The basic elements of the framework are Java classes that model field values; Java Beans that model database records; various extensions of these elements, like ModifiableValue and GeneratedBean; and extensions of the CMPair interface, that model generated, modifiable or synthesized pairs of records. There are interfaces for objects that create or modify these elements, like ValueModifier, BeanModifier or PairModifier. And finally, there are extensions of general CMSource and CMSink interfaces for supplying or consuming endless streams of values, beans and pairs.

See the core package for a default implementation of this API.
