Interface ParameterTree

All Known Implementing Classes:

AnonymousParmeterTree, DefaultParameterTree

public interface ParameterTree

Provides access to a ParameterServer.

A parameter server is a shared, multi-variate dictionary that is accessible via network APIs. Nodes use this server to store and retrieve parameters at runtime. As it is not designed for high-performance, it is best used for static, non-binary data such as configuration parameters. It is meant to be globally viewable so that tools can easily inspect the configuration state of the system and modify if necessary.
