CyJobData (Cytoscape Swing App API (swing-app-api) 3.8.0 API)

```
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 ({@see CyJobDataService#getSerializedData(CyJobData)}) and retrieve the information from the remote job ({@see CyJobDataService#unSerialize(Object)}).
Module: jobs-api
To use this in your app, include the following dependency in your POM:
```
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.cytoscape</groupId>
    <artifactId>jobs-api</artifactId>
</dependency>
```
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.
