public final class FieldDefinitionCollection
extends NamedObjectCollection<FieldDefinition>

A map of field names to their associated field definitions. A FieldDefinitionCollection supports serialization to XML and JSON, as well as creating derived data shape definitions. Fields belonging to this map can be iterated over according to their ordinality or storage order.
