Basic classes for RTL

Overview

This documentation describes the FPC classes unit. The Classes unit contains basic classes for the Free Component Library (FCL):

• a TList class for maintaining lists of pointers,
• TStringList for lists of strings,
• TCollection to manage collections of objects
• TStream classes to support streaming.

Furthermore it introduces methods for object persistence, and classes that understand an owner-owned relationship, with automatic memory management.
