## Interface Shareable

- All Known Subinterfaces:
    Buffer, Destination
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    JsonArray, JsonObject

      public interface Shareable

  An interface which allows you to put arbitrary objects into a `LocalMap`.

  Normally local maps only allow immutable or copiable objects in order to avoid shared access to mutable state.

  However if you have an object that you know is thread-safe you can mark it with this interface and then you will be able to add it to `LocalMap` instances.

  Mutable object that you want to store in a `LocalMap` should override `copy()` method.

  Use this interface with caution.
