Optional Elements
Modifier and Type	Optional Element and Description
`boolean`	`array` Is this property an array of the `type()` or a single value? If the property is an array, only its getter (returning mutable `List` of the boxed `type()`) is generated.
`boolean`	`mutable` Can the value of the property be mutated without restriction or not.

- Element Detail
  - name
```
public abstract String name
```
    Name of the property. Will be used to define proper getter and setter in the associated class.
    
    Returns:
    valid java identifier
  - type
```
public abstract Class<?> type
```
    Type of the property. Can either be primitive type (like int.class, double.class, etc.), String, enum or complex model class (defined by Model property).
    
    Returns:
    the class of the property
  - array
```
public abstract boolean array
```
    Is this property an array of the type() or a single value? If the property is an array, only its getter (returning mutable List of the boxed type()) is generated.
    
    Returns:
    true, if this property is supposed to represent an array of values
    
    Default:
    
    false
  - mutable
```
public abstract boolean mutable
```
    Can the value of the property be mutated without restriction or not. If a property is defined as not mutable, it defines semi-immutable value that can only be changed in construction time before the object is passed to underlying Technology. Attempts to modify the object later yield IllegalStateException. Technologies may decide to represent such non-mutable property in more effective way - for example Knockout Java Bindings technology (with id "ko4j") uses plain JavaScript value (number, string, array, boolean) rather than classical observable.
    
    Returns:
    false if the value cannot change after its first use
    Since:
    
    1.3
    
    Default:
    
    true
