<h1>Objects<br>
<small>
[<a class="el" href="group__Object.html">Object: Dynamic Object Class Framework</a>]</small>
</h1><hr><a name="_details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
QOF Objects provide the means for associating a storage backend to a set of QOF Entities. While an entity can be though of as an identified instance of some thing, the QOF Object provides for a way to associate instances with a storage backend. Storage might be file or SQL storage.<p>
QOF Objects are also used by the query system ....<p>
XXX todo, we should split out the storage aspects of this thing from the 'foreach' that query depends on. These are kinad unrelated concepts.
