/**
 * @class Ext.data.DataWriter
 * <p>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.</p>
 * <p>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}.</p>
 * <p>Creating a writer is simple:</p>
 * <pre><code>
var writer = new Ext.data.JsonWriter({
    encode: false   // &lt;--- false causes data to be printed to jsonData config-property of Ext.Ajax#reqeust
});
 * </code></pre>
 * * <p>Same old JsonReader as Ext-2.x:</p>
 * <pre><code>
var reader = new Ext.data.JsonReader({idProperty: 'id'}, [{name: 'first'}, {name: 'last'}, {name: 'email'}]);
 * </code></pre>
 *
 * <p>The proxy for a writer enabled store can be configured with a simple <code>url</code>:</p>
 * <pre><code>
// Create a standard HttpProxy instance.
var proxy = new Ext.data.HttpProxy({
    url: 'app.php/users'    // &lt;--- Supports "provides"-type urls, such as '/users.json', '/products.xml' (Hello Rails/Merb)
});
 * </code></pre>
 * <p>For finer grained control, the proxy may also be configured with an <code>API</code>:</p>
 * <pre><code>
// Maximum flexibility with the API-configuration
var proxy = new Ext.data.HttpProxy({
    api: {
        read    : 'app.php/users/read',
        create  : 'app.php/users/create',
        update  : 'app.php/users/update',
        destroy : {  // &lt;--- Supports object-syntax as well
            url: 'app.php/users/destroy',
            method: "DELETE"
        }
    }
});
 * </code></pre>
 * <p>Pulling it all together into a Writer-enabled Store:</p>
 * <pre><code>
var store = new Ext.data.Store({
    proxy: proxy,
    reader: reader,
    writer: writer,
    autoLoad: true,
    autoSave: true  // -- Cell-level updates.
});
 * </code></pre>
 * <p>Initiating write-actions <b>automatically</b>, using the existing Ext2.0 Store/Record API:</p>
 * <pre><code>
var rec = store.getAt(0);
rec.set('email', 'foo@bar.com');  // &lt;--- Immediately initiates an UPDATE action through configured proxy.

store.remove(rec);  // &lt;---- Immediately initiates a DESTROY action through configured proxy.
 * </code></pre>
 * <p>For <b>record/batch</b> updates, use the Store-configuration {@link Ext.data.Store#autoSave autoSave:false}</p>
 * <pre><code>
var store = new Ext.data.Store({
    proxy: proxy,
    reader: reader,
    writer: writer,
    autoLoad: true,
    autoSave: false  // -- disable cell-updates
});

var urec = store.getAt(0);
urec.set('email', 'foo@bar.com');

var drec = store.getAt(1);
store.remove(drec);

// Push the button!
store.save();
 * </code></pre>

 * @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
