AttributeMetadata

Class Overview

Metadata describing an attribute. Attribute metadata includes the id, name, and datatype of an attribute, as well whether that metadata is required, declared, or visible. New attribute instances can only be created as part of an element, see addAttribute(AttributeKey).

See the Metadata interface for the properties shared between attribute metadata and ElementMetadata.
