      public class MockDataSource
      extends DataSource

  A special kind of `client-only DataSource` that can be configured with `"mock data"` - a simple text format for table or tree data.

  MockDataSources are produced by the Reify Mockup Importer when starting from mockup formats that use the mock data format. The docs for the `Reify Mockup Importer` explain various steps for converting a `MockDataSource` to a real DataSource.

  `MockDataSource` is primarily intended as a temporary form of DataSource used during the process of converting a mockup into a real application. Generally, if creating a client-only DataSource in Java, there is no reason to use the mock data format, as the mock data is not especially readable when written as a String literal. The mock data format can be a slightly more compact and readable as compared to declaring `DataSource.testData` in XML.

      Parameters:
        `mockDataType` - New mockDataType value. Default value is "grid"

          public MockDataType getMockDataType()

      Whether `mockData` is in the "grid" or "tree" format. See `MockDataType`.
      Returns:
        Current mockDataType value. Default value is "grid"

    - #### setDefaultProperties

          public static void setDefaultProperties(MockDataSource mockDataSourceProperties)

      Class level method to set the default properties of this class. If set, then all existing and subsequently created instances of this class will automatically have default properties corresponding to the properties set on the SmartGWT class instance passed to this function before its underlying SmartClient JS object was created. This is a powerful feature that eliminates the need for users to create a separate hierarchy of subclasses that only alter the default properties of this class. Can also be used for skinning / styling purposes.

      Note: This method is intended for setting default attributes only and will affect all instances of the underlying class (including those automatically generated in JavaScript). This method should not be used to apply standard EventHandlers or override methods for a class - use a custom subclass instead. Calling this method after instances have been created can result in undefined behavior, since it bypasses any setters and a class instance may have already examined a particular property and not be expecting any changes through this route.

      Parameters:
        `mockDataSourceProperties` - properties that should be used as new defaults when instances of this class are created
      See Also:
        `SGWTProperties`

    - #### getMockDataAsRecord

          public Record[] getMockDataAsRecord()

      Deprecated. in favor of `getMockDataAsRecordArray()`.
      See `getMockDataAsRecordArray()`.
