CompositeVariant (ACS AEM Commons Bundle 4.7.2 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.adobe.acs.commons.data.CompositeVariant<T>

Type Parameters:

T - Can be of any class supported by Variant, used for direct conversion in getValue, etc.
```
@ProviderType
public final class CompositeVariant<T>
extends Object
```
Represents a value which could be either a list of variants or a single variant. The idea is that this supports a transition from a singular to a multi-value property for easier conversion.
