# OpenStruct allows the creation of data objects with arbitrary attributes.
# See OpenStruct for an example.
# An OpenStruct is a data structure, similar to a Hash, that allows the
# definition of arbitrary attributes with their accompanying values. This is
# accomplished by using Ruby's metaprogramming to define methods on the class
# person = OpenStruct.new
# person.name = "John Smith"
# person.name # => "John Smith"
# person.address # => nil
# An OpenStruct employs a Hash internally to store the attributes and values
# and can even be initialized with one:
# australia = OpenStruct.new(:country => "Australia", :capital => "Canberra")
# # => #<OpenStruct country="Australia", capital="Canberra">
# Hash keys with spaces or characters that could normally not be used for
# method calls (e.g. <code>()[]*</code>) will not be immediately available
# on the OpenStruct object as a method for retrieval or assignment, but can
# still be reached through the Object#send method or using [].
# measurements = OpenStruct.new("length (in inches)" => 24)
# measurements[:"length (in inches)"] # => 24
# measurements.send("length (in inches)") # => 24
# message = OpenStruct.new(:queued? => true)
# message.queued? # => true
# message.send("queued?=", false)
# message.queued? # => false
# Removing the presence of an attribute requires the execution of the
# delete_field method as setting the property value to +nil+ will not
# first_pet = OpenStruct.new(:name => "Rowdy", :owner => "John Smith")
# second_pet = OpenStruct.new(:name => "Rowdy")
# first_pet # => #<OpenStruct name="Rowdy", owner=nil>
# first_pet == second_pet # => false
# first_pet.delete_field(:owner)
# first_pet # => #<OpenStruct name="Rowdy">
# first_pet == second_pet # => true
# Ractor compatibility: A frozen OpenStruct with shareable values is itself shareable.
# An OpenStruct utilizes Ruby's method lookup structure to find and define the
# necessary methods for properties. This is accomplished through the methods
# method_missing and define_singleton_method.
# This should be a consideration if there is a concern about the performance of
# the objects that are created, as there is much more overhead in the setting
# of these properties compared to using a Hash or a Struct.
# Creating an open struct from a small Hash and accessing a few of the
# entries can be 200 times slower than accessing the hash directly.
# This is a potential security issue; building OpenStruct from untrusted user data
# (e.g. JSON web request) may be susceptible to a "symbol denial of service" attack
# since the keys create methods and names of methods are never garbage collected.
# This may also be the source of incompatibilities between Ruby versions:
# o.then # => nil in Ruby < 2.6, enumerator for Ruby >= 2.6
# Builtin methods may be overwritten this way, which may be a source of bugs
# o.methods # => [:to_h, :marshal_load, :marshal_dump, :each_pair, ...
# o.methods = [:foo, :bar]
# o.methods # => [:foo, :bar]
# To help remedy clashes, OpenStruct uses only protected/private methods ending with <code>!</code>
# and defines aliases for builtin public methods by adding a <code>!</code>:
# o = OpenStruct.new(make: 'Bentley', class: :luxury)
# o.class! # => OpenStruct
# It is recommended (but not enforced) to not use fields ending in <code>!</code>;
# Note that a subclass' methods may not be overwritten, nor can OpenStruct's own methods
# ending with <code>!</code>.
# For all these reasons, consider not using OpenStruct at all.
# Creates a new OpenStruct object. By default, the resulting OpenStruct
# object will have no attributes.
# The optional +hash+, if given, will generate attributes and values
# (can be a Hash, an OpenStruct or a Struct).
# hash = { "country" => "Australia", :capital => "Canberra" }
# data = OpenStruct.new(hash)
# data # => #<OpenStruct country="Australia", capital="Canberra">
# Duplicates an OpenStruct object's Hash table.
