public interface JonixStruct

Fundamental interface in Jonix object model, merely marking a Jonix Struct.

The idea of a Struct is to represent an ONIX Data Composite (i.e. an ONIX item that contains several fields, but no nested ONIX items) as a simple Java object. One of the biggest advantages of such Struct is that it's ONIX-version agnostic (i.e. Onix2 and Onix3 create the exact same class) - which allows easy development of cross-version processing. Another important feature is that in many cases one of the fields in the Struct acts as a key (i.e. mandatory, unique, and searchable-by). This useful trait is captured by JonixKeyedStruct.

To obtain Struct from any Data Composite invoke OnixComposite.OnixDataComposite.asStruct().
