"""
The ``com.vmware.vapi.metadata.metamodel_client`` module provides classes that
expose all the information present in the interface definition language (IDL)
specification. 
Metamodel metadata is organized into an hierarchy of elements. The main
elements are: 
* Enumeration: An enumeration element that has a list of enumeration value
  elements.
* Constant: A constant element has a name and a value.
* Structure: A structure element can have field elements, constant elements and
  enumeration elements.
* Operation: An operation has a list of parameter elements, result element and
  error elements.
* Service: A service is a collection of operation elements, structure elements,
  enumerated elements and constant elements.
* Package: A package is a collection of service elements, structure elements
  and enumeration elements.
* Component: A component is a collection of package elements.
The ``com.vmware.vapi.metadata.metamodel_client`` module has classes that
enables two styles of client applications: 
* A client can retrieve the exact pieces of information it requires using the
  various granularities the API supports (that is :class:`Component`,
  :class:`Package`, :class:`Service`, :class:`Structure`, :class:`Enumeration`
  and :class:`com.vmware.vapi.metadata.metamodel.service_client.Operation`). In
  this case, it doesn't cache any information locally and always invokes methods
  to get the metamodel information it requires.
* A client can retrieve all the metamodel information in fewer method
  invocations using the :class:`Component` class and cache the output locally. It
  can then poll on the fingerprint information exposed by the :class:`Component`
  class to monitor changes in API definition.
