All Known Implementing Classes:

BaseObjectCreator, ObjectCreatorMockedFieldsImpl

public interface ObjectCreator

The responsability of ObjectCreator is to create object of the type provided. The default ones are :

   • It will go down the tree even if types like this : HashMap<String, HashMap<String, List<String>>>
   • It will generate for each of those field a random number of items between 1 and 10.
