/**
 * This package and its subpackages define the RepreZen CodeGen framework.
 * 
 * The overall conceptual framework embodied in these packages is as follows:
 * 

 * GenTemplates turn one or more source files into output
 * files.
 * 
GenTargets provide run-time values - such as string
 * values for named parameters, file paths for source files, etc. - to
 * GenTemplates. They are the vehicle used to execute GenTemplates.
 * 
Dependencies define the values that must be supplied by
 * a GenTarget when executing a particular GenTemplate
 * 
Trace information constitutes "bread crumbs" left behind
 * after a GenTemplate executes. These can be used by other GenTemplates that
 * depend on this GenTemplate. Such dependencies result in "chained" execution
 * scenarios, wherein executing a single GenTarget can cause the execution of
 * one or more other GenTargets as a side-effect, in order to generate their
 * trace information.
 * 
Sources provide input values to GenTemplates.
 * 
Output Items generate output content from input content.
 * A single GenTemplate can be configured to incorporate mutiple output items.
 * 
The framework includes specializations for many of the above for specific
 * source types, including {@link com.modelsolv.reprezen.restapi.ZenModel} and
 * {@link io.swagger.models.Swagger}.
 *
