Interface UiInspector

All Known Implementing Classes:
EntityEditorInspector, EntityTableModelInspector
public interface UiInspector
Provides a description of the application state behind a UI component, as a structure of plain values (maps, lists, scalars), for tooling and automation. Implementations are located using a ServiceLoader, so consumers depend only on this interface and not on any particular application framework.

Must be called on the event dispatch thread, since it reads UI and model state.
