An EntityView is a structure of DOM Elements that form a visual representation or "view" of an object, entity or element. This class provides objects that can be used to create neat "data-bindings" between your application-specific domain objects and a rendered HTML data views or "widgets".

The core of an EntityView is it's update() method, that executes when the EntityView is triggered to update (which can happen in different ways, depending on how it is set up). The responsibility of this function is to render (or re-render) relevant properties of the object as displayable HTML content. A simple example would be an HTML table that displays the individual properties of an object or entity as table rows, where each <TR> contains <TD>s that hold names and values of the properties.
