All Implemented Interfaces:

Direct Known Subclasses:

SwiftTagListBlock, SwiftValueBlock
```
public abstract class SwiftBlock
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable
```
Base class for a generic SWIFT block.
This is an abstract class so specific block classes for each block (block 1, 2, 3, etc...) should be instantiated.

Instances of this class may have a list of unparsed texts (UnparsedTextList). For easy access, methods have been created that first ensure the lists exists (the real object is created and then call the base method).
However, not all the base list methods have been implemented. If you need to use not exposed functionality, retrieve the underlying list with (see getUnparsedTexts method)
