Expose all Information in a consistent way #25

Open MyrionPhoenixmoon opened 9 years ago

MyrionPhoenixmoon commented 9 years ago

For all stellar objects, it would be useful to provide a simple way to query all their data. A complete Getter collection would be good, but it might be more useful to provide the information in a iterable form. This would certainly have been of use in the Web GUI, but it should be useful in any other GUI as well, at least.

It would also allow for providing a RESTful API, returning the queried object to whoever queries the server in an easy-to-understand format like JSON.

This could lead to mobile clients, too...

We should define all instance fields in a centralized fashion on each class, so that we can include it in docstrings and have a clear overview over the fields.

Possibly abolishing private members (discussed in #48) can lead to a more uniform way of exposing data.
