Interface DataType

All Known Implementing Classes:
PrimitiveDataType
@Contract public interface DataType
Denotes the type of the data a particular config element (attribute, element) should have. This interface should be implemented whenever a need arises to check if an abstract data type can be represented as a given String . The implementations of a DataType are mapped by their names elsewhere. Implementations should provide functional implementation of the #validate method and must have a public parameterless constructor (except possibly for primitives).
