Interface Summary

Interface	Description
Converter<U,T>	A Converter is responsible for converting raw data (obtained from a data source) into one or more Java objects.
DataReader<T>	This is the root interface for all data readers.
ServerSentEventReader<T>	Implementations of this interface are capable of reading successive updates to data that are made available via the SSE protocol.
WritableDataReader<T>	A WritableDataReader is a DataReader that is capable of not only reading entities from an external source, but also allows to write changes to an entity back to the external source.
WriteBackListProvider<T>	This interface should be implemented by a DataProvider that is capable of receiving lists of entities, and that wants to write new entries (added locally) back to the original data source.
WriteBackProvider<T>	Classes implementing this interface are capable of writing changes to entities of type T back to the original dataprovider.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AbstractDataReader<T>	Abstract class, allowing to define whether this DataReader should hold a single element or not.
FileSource<T>
InputStreamDataReader<T>	Abstract class for functionality common across DataReader implementations that rely on InputStreams.
JdbcSource<T>	Create a connection to a relational DB and returns objects
MultiValuedMap	Utility class for storing a Map where a specific key can hold more than one value.
RestSource<T>	Client class that is used to create a request to an external REST endpoint.
RestSourceBuilder<T>	Builder class for creating an RestSource.
SSERestSource<T>	Client class that is used to create a request to an external SSE endpoint.
SSERestSourceBuilder<T>
WriteBackHandler<T>	A WriteBackHandler is used when data retrieved with DataFX changes due to a client-action.

Annotation Types Summary

Annotation Type	Description
WriteTransient	Annotation that indicates that a change in a particular field should not be considered for a writeback operation.

Package io.datafx.io Description

This package contains the functionality required for retrieving external data. The functionality required for providing the external data is contained in the io.datafx.provider package.

Data is obtained by implementations of DataReader. A ServerSentEventReader is a special DataReader that keeps reading data, accordingly to the SSE protocol.

A WritableDataReader is a DataReader that is capable of writing changed data back to the external data source. In order to handle
