This package contains auxiliary classes for formatting and editing objects of various types, in particular, those in the package edu.rutgers.md.sql.
In practice, the current version of the MD application makes very little use of this package. However, it includes a variety of potentially useful mechanisms which can be used to annotate fields of a class, indicating how they should be printed in a pretty-printer or edited in a web-based edit form, as well as tools that use those annotations.
