ig.MashupDataSource

The MashupDataSource is used to create a single collection of data from multiple sources. The sources are combined using a common primary key field. This class is an extension of the DataSource class which adds the options for mashupSettings. For more MashupDataSource API details, refer to the DataSource API documentation.
