An AbstractInverseSlot is a slot that contains a collection of other cubbies, namely the ones that have the given target value as value of the given foreign slot.
A helper trait for libraries that need ref slots to be covariant.
A Cubbie has a collection of slots (or fields) that store the attributes of the cubbie.
This allows any type to be stored in a slot.
A slot that contains a list of cubbies.
A slot that contains a cubbie.
The Inverse slot is a default implementation of the AbstractInverseSlot.
The type of underlying Map.
The type of underlying Map. We use the generic scala mutable Map interface. If clients want to use their own Map data structure (such as MongoDB maps) they only need to provide a wrapper mutable.Map implementation around their data.
A slot containing a list of primitives.
A slot containing primitive values (ints, strings, booleans etc.
A RefSlot is a simple type of AbstractInverseSlot which "contains" all cubbies of a given type with the given ID.
Default implementation of an AbstractSlot.
Every cubbie has an ID.

a string representation of the underyling map.
A Cubbie provides typed access to an underlying Map data-structure. This map can come from various sources, such as JSON objects or MongoDB objects.
Cubbies are designed to make access to (often persistent) data safe, easy and generic. This comes at the price of efficiency, so clients should not access Cubbies in inner-loops of computations. In practice this may require a further conversion step from Cubbies into a more efficient representation.
