The IAPIAttributeAdapter template interface provides a simple abstract method (CacheAttributes ()) to cache an API structure’s attributes by storing them in an IAttributeProxy object.

The IAPIAttributeAdapterBase interface provides Get/Set methods and data members for information necessary during the caching:

• the IAttributeProxy object which stores the cached attributes
• an IAPIAttributeAdapterFactory to get attribute adapters for contained types
• the API_DatabaseInfo of the structure

The derived IAPIAttributeAdapter template interface provides additional type-dependent Get/Set methods and data members for information necessary during the caching:

• the structure to cache
• the API_ElementMemo for an API_Element structure

There’s a simple implementation in the DefaultImplementation folder, which basically does nothing (NullTypeAttributeAdapter).
