/**
 * @class Ext.data.Store
 * @extends Ext.util.Observable
 * <p>The Store class encapsulates a client side cache of {@link Ext.data.Record Record}
 * objects which provide input data for Components such as the {@link Ext.grid.GridPanel GridPanel},
 * the {@link Ext.form.ComboBox ComboBox}, or the {@link Ext.DataView DataView}.</p>
 * <p><u>Retrieving Data</u></p>
 * <p>A Store object may access a data object using:<div class="mdetail-params"><ul>
 * <li>{@link #proxy configured implementation} of {@link Ext.data.DataProxy DataProxy}</li>
 * <li>{@link #data} to automatically pass in data</li>
 * <li>{@link #loadData} to manually pass in data</li>
 * </ul></div></p>
 * <p><u>Reading Data</u></p>
 * <p>A Store object has no inherent knowledge of the format of the data object (it could be
 * an Array, XML, or JSON). A Store object uses an appropriate {@link #reader configured implementation}
 * of a {@link Ext.data.DataReader DataReader} to create {@link Ext.data.Record Record} instances from the data
 * object.</p>
 * <p><u>Store Types</u></p>
 * <p>There are several implementations of Store available which are customized for use with
 * a specific DataReader implementation.  Here is an example using an ArrayStore which implicitly
 * creates a reader commensurate to an Array data object.</p>
 * <pre><code>
var myStore = new Ext.data.ArrayStore({
    fields: ['fullname', 'first'],
    idIndex: 0 // id for each record will be the first element
});
 * </code></pre>
 * <p>For custom implementations create a basic {@link Ext.data.Store} configured as needed:</p>
 * <pre><code>
// create a {@link Ext.data.Record Record} constructor:
var rt = Ext.data.Record.create([
    {name: 'fullname'},
    {name: 'first'}
]);
var myStore = new Ext.data.Store({
    // explicitly create reader
    reader: new Ext.data.ArrayReader(
        {
            idIndex: 0  // id for each record will be the first element
        },
        rt // recordType
    )
});
 * </code></pre>
 * <p>Load some data into store (note the data object is an array which corresponds to the reader):</p>
 * <pre><code>
var myData = [
    [1, 'Fred Flintstone', 'Fred'],  // note that id for the record is the first element
    [2, 'Barney Rubble', 'Barney']
];
myStore.loadData(myData);
 * </code></pre>
 * <p>Records are cached and made available through accessor functions.  An example of adding
 * a record to the store:</p>
 * <pre><code>
var defaultData = {
    fullname: 'Full Name',
    first: 'First Name'
};
var recId = 100; // provide unique id for the record
var r = new myStore.recordType(defaultData, ++recId); // create new record
myStore.{@link #insert}(0, r); // insert a new record into the store (also see {@link #add})
 * </code></pre>
 * @constructor
 * Creates a new Store.
 * @param {Object} config A config object containing the objects needed for the Store to access data,
 * and read the data into Records.
 * @xtype store
