Interface CyJobData

public interface CyJobData
CyJobData presents a general interface to sending data to and receiving data from a job. The api is meant to be very similar to that of a Map, with String keys and arbirary Objects as values. Note that no type checking is done -- the values might contain other Maps, Lists or a variety of other objects (notably Cytoscape model and view model objects). The detailed implementation for this object is managed by a CyJobDataService which should be able to use the information contains within the object to create the appropriate data structure to send to a remote job () and retrieve the information from the remote job ().

Cytoscape Backwards Compatibility (SPI Interface): We expect that this interface will be implemented. Therefore to maintain backwards compatibility this interface will only be modified for major version updates.
