DmtData (OSGi Compendium Release 6)

java.lang.Object
- org.osgi.service.dmt.DmtData

```
public final class DmtData
extends Object
```
An immutable data structure representing the contents of a leaf or interior node. This structure represents only the value and the format property of the node, all other properties (like MIME type) can be set and read using the DmtSession interface.
Different constructors are available to create nodes with different formats. Nodes of null format can be created using the static NULL_VALUE constant instance of this class.
FORMAT_RAW_BINARY and FORMAT_RAW_STRING enable the support of future data formats. When using these formats, the actual format name is specified as a String. The application is responsible for the proper encoding of the data according to the specified format.
