TMappingExplorer Class

Central registry and inspector for the Aurelius mapping model, providing access to entity metadata, class hierarchy, and RTTI-based data manipulation.

Remarks

TMappingExplorer loads and caches entity type metadata (tables, columns, associations, identifiers, inheritance strategies, etc.) for all mapped classes belonging to a named model. It is used internally by TObjectManager to resolve entity structure during SQL generation and object hydration. Multiple independent mapping models are supported: each model is identified by a ModelName string and managed through the global class functions Get, Replace, Default, and ReplaceDefault. The default model name is 'Default' and corresponds to entities registered without an explicit model. Instances can be created with a TMappingSetup for custom or isolated mapping configurations, or with a model name to use the globally registered class list for that model.
