Package de.xima.fc.common.function.accessor

Package containing various interfaces for generic accessors. An accessor is defined by its ability to get a certain type of value from an object, and to set a value to an object. Accessors are usually pure functions that do not have any state. An accessor always has the following signature (you can use this as a template for new accessor, simply search and replace the word "Property" with the name of the property, "Class" with the type name of the property, and "description" with a short description of the property; then use the IDE to move the inner interfaces to their own files):
