Complexes

A complex is a type that contains a set of members and a constructor. It is usually a .NET class but it extends to any other structure that can represent a set of member->value pairs (i.e.: members, properties), such as:

• Anonymous classes, are handled just as regular ones.
• Dictionary<string, object>, each key-pair value represents a member,
• JsonObject where each value node represents a member.
• Any other custom type that can hold a set of member _name _-> value pairs.

Complexes can be seen as an abstraction of a regular object, and they can be extended to handle custom types.

Members

Members are variables associated with the complex type. They can be represented by propertes for .NET classes, key-value pairs for Dictionary<string, object>) or any other slot that can contain named values for custom types. A member should have a name and a getter and setter that changes depending on the handled type. Property getters and setters for .NET classes, indexer[] for Dictionary<string, object> or any other accessor for custom types. Members can be renamed, ignored, removed and custom code may be added to getters and setters, also they can hold annotations.
