ContainerType

public interface Container

A container is a structure that allows items and/or containers to be grouped. These groupings of items and/or containers can be used to form logical packages (for transport or exchange) or logical shelves (for organization).

It should be noted that a container itself is not an item; containers are groupings of items and/or containers.
