public interface DataObject extends PropertyHandler
A DataObject realises a wrapper for a value.

A detailed description can be found in the DataClass.

This is an abstract interface for that no corresponding implementation exists. This interface just summarises some methods that are equal for all data objects.

Compare

To compare two data object the method hasSameValueAsIn(DataObject) exists. This method makes a deep compare. For atomic objects this is equal to the equals(Object) method. For sets, lists, aggregates, and others a deeper comparision is performed that also includes the element objects.

Clone

copy() makes a deep copy of the object including the properties and objectids also.
