Protocol

EObject

Base protocol for all Ecore model elements.

protocol EObject : EcoreValue

Overview

EObject is the root of the Ecore metamodel hierarchy. All model elements (both metamodel definitions and model instances) conform to this protocol.

Reflective Access: Features can be accessed dynamically via eGet(_:) and eSet(_:_:)
Identity: Every object has a unique identifier via Identifiable
Value Semantics: Thread-safe through Sendable and value comparison via Hashable

Types conforming to EObject must implement the reflective API to allow dynamic access to their structural features (attributes and references).

Classifier

The type of classifier (metaclass) for this object.

The identifier type (must be EUUID).

eClass

Returns the metaclass (EClass) describing this object’s type.

Unique identifier for this object.

eGet(_:)

Reflectively retrieves the value of a feature.

eIsSet(_:)

Checks whether a feature has been explicitly set.

eSet(_:_:)

Reflectively sets the value of a feature.

eUnset(_:)

Unsets a feature, returning it to its default value.
