Class
Resource
A resource manages model objects and provides EMF-compliant reference resolution.
@globalActor actor ResourceOverview
Resources serve as containers for model objects, providing identity-based storage and resolution capabilities. They enable cross-reference resolution, URI-based addressing, and proper object lifecycle management following EMF patterns.
Thread Safety
Resources are thread-safe actors that manage concurrent access to model objects and provide atomic reference resolution operations.
Example
let resource = Resource(uri: "http://example.com/mymodel")
// Add objects to resource
let person = DynamicEObject(eClass: personClass)
resource.add(person)
// Resolve references by ID
if let resolved = resource.resolve(person.id) {
print("Found object: \(resolved)")
}Topics
