*
* <h2>Information about data loading interface</h2>
*
* This API is used to find and efficiently load data for ICU and applications
* using ICU. It provides an abstract interface that specifies a data type and
* name to find and load the data. Normally this API is used by other ICU APIs
* to load required data out of the ICU data library, but it can be used to
* load data out of other places.
*
* See the User Guide Data Management chapter.

* UDataInfo contains the properties about the requested data.

*
* <p>This structure may grow in the future, indicated by the

*
* <p>The platform data property fields help determine if a data
* file can be efficiently used on a given machine.
* The particular fields are of importance only if the data
* is affected by the properties - if there is integer data
* with word sizes > 1 byte, char* text, or UChar* text.</p>
*
* <p>The implementation for the <code>udata_open[Choice]()</code>
* functions may reject data based on the value in <code>isBigEndian</code>.
* No other field is used by the <code>udata</code> API implementation.</p>
*
* <p>The <code>dataFormat</code> may be used to identify
* the kind of data, e.g. a converter table.</p>
*
* <p>The <code>formatVersion</code> field should be used to
* make sure that the format can be interpreted.
* I may be a good idea to check only for the one or two highest
* of the version elements to allow the data memory to
* get more or somewhat rearranged contents, for as long
* as the using code can still interpret the older contents.</p>
*
* <p>The <code>dataVersion</code> field is intended to be a
* common place to store the source version of the data;
* for data from the Unicode character database, this could
* reflect the Unicode version.</p>
