Class FlexObject

java.lang.Object

windntrees.flex.FlexObject

public class FlexObject
extends Object

FlexObject represents data or content objects in collection of items in a type less manner. FlexObject in normal format is a collection (or array) of key, evaluator, result, content information and content objects composed in a format as explained following sections. FlexObject in output format is composed of only one item with already processed result. In normal format first 10 FlexObject items in array or collection defines configurational and or content evaluation information while remaining items define content objects that are processed to either form a view or yields in a function or object output. FlexObject { items: [ items[0]: key / output result object items[1]: evaluator function / string / html items[2]: result (html / string)[-output] / object-output items[3]: content object[-output] / string items[4]: reserved items[5]: reserved items[6]: reserved items[7]: reserved items[8]: reserved items[9]: reserved items[10]: object 1 items[11]: object 2 items[12]: object 3 items[13]: object 4 . . . items[N]: object N ] } In normal format FlexObject first item contain key information. Second item is the evaluator function or view information that consume content objects to produce output result. Third item defines the expected result and fourth item defines information about content objects. Fifth to tenth items are reserved for future usage. From eleventh to onward items contain objects that are to be processed.
