Instance Method Details

#data_object_copy ⇒ Object

Since Data Objects are not “Marshallable”, and they generally contain lots of types of data in their instance variables, we have this method. This will create and return a ‘deep copy’ of the data object as well as any and all nested data objects and collections it contains.

Please note that this method will fail if you are putting Data Objects into Arrays or Hashes instead of into Collection classes
