Interface Binding

All Known Implementing Classes:
Binding0, Binding1, Binding2, Binding3, Binding4, BindingBase, BindingOverMap, BindingProject, BindingProjectBase, BindingProjectNamed, BindingRoot
public interface Binding
Interface encapsulating a mapping from a name to a value.

A Binding is a map from Var to Node. It can have a parent, meaning this binding extends (adds new var/node pairs) another. The operation get(java.lang.String) looks in this binding, then looks in the parent recursively. Bindings are immutable. Bindings provide value-based equality and hash code.
