Structures

The ExternalLink type represents an external resource related to some taxon (a LinkOut item in the NCBI’s terminology).

The LineageAlignment struct parses the contents of a lineage tree and aligns its nodes in a succession of columns based on each node’s rank in a way in which all the nodes with the same rank end up in the same column, while the ones without rank are placed in columns between the closest ranked columns.

Once generated, the alignment can be used with various purposes, such as serving as a model to draw the tree in a view.

The Taxon struct represents a record downloaded from the NCBI’s Taxonomy database.

The TaxonLineageItem is a value that describes an element from a retrieved taxon’s lineage.

A struct used to transform Locale language codes into the different localized Wikipedia subdomains.
