DefinitionsMap

All Superinterfaces:

java.util.Map
```
public interface DefinitionsMap
extends java.util.Map
```
This is the intermediary of the ImportExport module, which enables to have a disposable iterator of a list of DynStructs. It also permits to obtain another disposable iterator of the related DynFields based on a given DynStruct. It extends from a Map.
