org.refcodes.tabular

Interface ColumnsTemplate<T,C extends Column<? extends T>>

Type Parameters:

T - The type managed by the ColumnsTemplate.

C - the generic type

All Superinterfaces:

org.refcodes.structure.Clearable, Collection<C>, Iterable<C>, org.refcodes.structure.Keys<String,C>, org.refcodes.structure.Keys.MutableKeys<String,C>

All Known Subinterfaces:

Columns<T>, FormattedColumns<T>, FormattedHeader<T>, Header<T>, HeaderTemplate<T,C>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractHeader, FormattedHeaderImpl, HeaderImpl

public interface ColumnsTemplate<T,C extends Column<? extends T>>
extends Collection<C>, org.refcodes.structure.Keys.MutableKeys<String,C>

In case no order of the Column instances is explicitly required (similar to a DB table or a spread sheet, in contrast to a CSV file) then Column instances are grouped by a ColumnsTemplate set.

ColumnsTemplate provide additional semantics to the Field instances stored in a Record.
