Detailed Description

The Variant class.

It represents a data object (a variant containing data). Every data variant inherits from this class. It provdes basic methods for cast/conversion and holds a descriptor, specifying the data type.

If you have a unknown variant and you want to run a specific method based on the type, we suggest to use the visitor pattern (

See also: data/visitor/Visitor.h)

Note that a data variant differs from a type variant. A data variant contains data (e.g. if you have a list the data object contains the list elements) while a type object holds the static type information (e.g. the accepted type of the list). The elements of a list variant without type information may have different types (e.g. element [0] is an int variant whil element [1] is a string variant)

Also note, that while a type variant should always be defined (will not be NULL!), a data object can be NULL. This happens, if a maybe type (e.g. optional) is not set. The underlying ice representation will have a nullptr instead.
