Detailed Description

The MasterElement interface.

EBML elements can be divided into primitive elements and master elements. While primitive elements directly store a single piece of data in a format corresponding to their type, master elements are used to group other elements together. Instead of a single data value, they store zero or more child elements, which can themselves be master or primitive elements.

Generally, each master element will have quite specific functionality. In such cases, a new class should be created that inherits from and implements this interface.
