Introspection

Overview

Introspection is an action of accepting a runtime, unknown tree/graph model, instance and deep analysis it for its structure and attributes. This is extremely helpful when building a generic purpose componet that should act on the model without having it in compile time.

An examples of components that will use the introspection, Delta Notifications, ORM (Object Relation Mapping), Distributed Cache.

Cloner

Deep clone a model and its instances. Will also be sensitive to model specific cloning rules, e.g. if the model has a relation of many 2 many, cloning should not clone ZSide when cloning ASide.
