public interface SchemaSourceRepresentation
extends Identifiable<SourceIdentifier>, Immutable

Common interface for schema source representations. A schema source is an atomic piece of the overall schema context. In YANG terms, a schema source is semantically equivalent to a single YANG text file, be it a module or a submodule. A schema source can exist in various forms, which we call representations. Again, in YANG terms, each representation is semantically equivalent, but from implementation perspective certain operations on a schema source may require it to be first transformed into a particular representation before they can be applied. Such transformations are affected via instances of SchemaSourceTransformation. Typical examples of a schema source representation include:

• a String - textual representation of source code
• a InputStream - input stream containing source code
• a ByteSource - source for input streams containing source code
• Parsed abstract syntax tree (AST), which is the result of a syntactic parser

Implementations of this interface expected to comply with the Immutable contract.
