17 * There are two base types of model statements:
19 * <li>{@link DeclaredStatement} - Statement representation as was defined in original
20 * source. This representation could be used during computation of effective model
21 * or during transforming YANG model from one serialization format to other.
24 * {@link EffectiveStatement} - Representation of effective statement - this
25 * statement may be different from declared, in such way, that it contains additional
26 * substatements, provides access to model namespaces. Some effective statements may be not
27 * directly declared in YANG source, but could be inferred by semantic processing of
28 * other statements (eg. uses, augment).
32 * @param <A> Argument type ({@link Void} if statement does not have argument.)
34 public interface ModelStatement<A> {
37 * Statement Definition of this statement.
39 * @return definition of this statement.
41 @Nonnull StatementDefinition statementDefinition();
45 * Returns statement argument
47 * @return statement argument or null if statement does not have argument.
49 @Nullable A argument();
52 * Returns statement source, which denotes if statement was
53 * explicitly declared in original model or inferred during
54 * semantic processing of model.
56 * @return statement source.
