@Contract public interface DataType
type
of the data a particular config
element (attribute, element) should have. This interface should be
implemented whenever a need arises to check if
an abstract data type can be represented as a given String
.
The implementations of a DataType are mapped by their names
elsewhere.
Implementations should provide functional implementation of the #validate method
and must have a public parameterless constructor (except possibly for primitives).PrimitiveDataType
