# Save and load `Model` from/to Neo4j base.
#
# Nit models are composed by MEntities.
# This module creates NeoNode for each MEntity found in a `Model` and save them
# into Neo4j database.
#
# see `Neo4jClient`.
#
# NeoNodes can also be translated back to MEntities to rebuild a Nit `Model`.
#
# Structure of the nit `Model` in base:
#
# Note : Any null or empty attribute will not be saved in the database.
#
# For any `MEntity` (in addition to specific data):
#
# * labels: model name (`model_name`) and `MEntity`.
# * `name`: short (unqualified) name.
# * `mdoc`: JSON array representing the associated Markdown documentation
# (one item by line).
#
# Note : All nodes described here are MEntities.
#
# `MProject`
#
# * labels: `MProject`, `model_name` and `MEntity`.
# * `(:MProject)-[:ROOT]->(:MGroup)`: root of the group tree.

#
# `MClass`

# * `(:MClassDef)-[:INHERITS]->(:MClassType)`: all declared super-types
#
# `MProperty`
#
# * labels: `MProperty`, `model_name` and `MEntity`. Must also have `MMethod`,
# `MAttribute` or `MVirtualTypeProp`, depending on the class of the represented
# entity.
# * `full_name`: fully qualified name.
# * `visibility`: visibility of the property.
# * `is_init`: Indicates if the property is a constructor. Exists only if the

#
# * If it is a `MGenericType`, also has the `MGenericType` label.
# * `(:MClassType)-[:CLASS]->(:MClass)`: SEE: `MClassType.mclass`
# * `(:MClassType)-[:ARGUMENT]->(:MType)`: type arguments.
#
# Additional relationship for `MVirtualType`:
#
# * `(:MVirtualType)-[:PROPERTY]->(:MProperty)`: associated property that
# determines the type (usually a `MVirtualTypeProp`).
#
# Additional attribute and relationship for `MParameterType`:
#
# * `rank`: position of the parameter (0 for the first parameter).

# belong.
#
# Additional relationship for `MNullableType`:

#
# * `parameter_names`: JSON array representing the list of the parameter names.
# * `(:MSignature)-[:PARAMETER]->(:MParameter)`: parameters.
# * `(:MSignature)-[:RETURNTYPE]->(:MType)`: return type. Does not exist for
# procedures.
#
# In order to maintain the correct parameters order, each `MSignature` node
# contains an array of parameter names corresponding to the parameter order in
# the signature.
#
# For example, if the source code contains:
#
#     fun foo(a: A, b: B, c: C)
#
# The `MSignature` node will contain a property
# `parameter_names = ["a", "b", "c"]` so the MSignature can be reconstructed
# with the parameters in the correct order.
#
# `MParameter`
#
# * labels: `MParameter`, `model_name` and `MEntity`.
# * `is_vararg`: Is the parameter a vararg?
# * `rank`: position of the parameter (0 for the first parameter).
# * `(:MParameter)-[:TYPE]->(:MType)`: static type of the parameter.
#
# MParameters are also ranked by their position in the corresponding signature.
# Rank 0 for the first parameter, 1 for the next one and etc.
