/**
 * @class Ext.data.DataWriter
 * 
Ext.data.DataWriter facilitates create, update, and destroy actions between
 * an Ext.data.Store and a server-side framework. A Writer enabled Store will
 * automatically manage the Ajax requests to perform CRUD actions on a Store.
 * 
Ext.data.DataWriter is an abstract base class which is intended to be extended
 * and should not be created directly. For existing implementations, see
 * {@link Ext.data.JsonWriter}.
 * 
Creating a writer is simple:
 * 

var writer = new Ext.data.JsonWriter();
 * 
 * 
The proxy for a writer enabled store can be configured with a simple url:
 * 

// Create a standard HttpProxy instance.
var proxy = new Ext.data.HttpProxy({
    url: 'app.php/users'
});
 * 
 * 
For finer grained control, the proxy may also be configured with an api:
 * 

// Use the api specification
var proxy = new Ext.data.HttpProxy({
    api: {
        read    : 'app.php/users/read',
        create  : 'app.php/users/create',
        update  : 'app.php/users/update',
        destroy : 'app.php/users/destroy'
    }
});
 * 
 * 
Creating a Writer enabled store:
 * 

var store = new Ext.data.Store({
    proxy: proxy,
    reader: reader,
    writer: writer
});
 * 
 * @constructor Create a new DataWriter
 * @param {Object} meta Metadata configuration options (implementation-specific)
 * @param {Object} recordType Either an Array of field definition objects as specified
 * in {@link Ext.data.Record#create}, or an {@link Ext.data.Record} object created
 * using {@link Ext.data.Record#create}.
