Interface PedigreeValue

All Known Implementing Classes:

PedigreeArrayItem, PedigreeMapItem

public interface PedigreeValue

A PedigreeValue is a map or array together with a Pedigree indicating how that map or array was selected within a JSON-like tree structure.

The PedigreeValue delegates all map and array operations to the wrapped map or array (called the base item), and in addition offers the ability to retrace the selection steps to establish the containing maps or arrays in the tree.
