# See OpenStruct for an example.
#

#
# OpenStruct allows you to create data objects and set arbitrary attributes.
# For example:
#
#   require 'ostruct'
#
#   record = OpenStruct.new
#   record.name    = "John Smith"
#   record.age     = 70
#   record.pension = 300
#
#   puts record.name     # -> "John Smith"
#   puts record.address  # -> nil
#
# It is like a hash with a different way to access the data.  In fact, it is
# implemented with a hash, and you can initialize it with one.
#
#   hash = { "country" => "Australia", :population => 20_000_000 }
#   data = OpenStruct.new(hash)
#
#   p data        # -> <OpenStruct country="Australia" population=20000000>
#
class OpenStruct
  #
  # Create a new OpenStruct object.  The optional +hash+, if given, will
  # generate attributes and values.  For example.
  #
  #   require 'ostruct'
  #   hash = { "country" => "Australia", :population => 20_000_000 }
  #   data = OpenStruct.new(hash)
  #
  #   p data        # -> <OpenStruct country="Australia" population=20000000>
  #
  # By default, the resulting OpenStruct object will have no attributes.
