Data Descriptions

Data descriptions define attributes of MAXON API data types.

The "raw" definition is defined with:

• maxon::DataDescriptionDefinitionInterface: Defines a "raw" DataDescription with commands like "define", "include" etc.
• maxon::DataDescriptionDefinitionDatabaseInterface: Database for definitions.

Resolved descriptions based on the definitions are generated at runtime:

• maxon::DataDescriptionInterface: Is the resolved DataDescription of a data type.
• maxon::DataDescriptionDatabaseInterface: Database of resolved descriptions.
• maxon::DataDescriptionWithUIAndString: Tuple of all three descriptions.
• maxon::DataDescriptionEntry: An alias for maxon::DataDictionary

These classes and their usage are described in these manuals:
