The DataItem class represents a dynamic object with bindable properties. That means the Flex data binding mechanism recognizes when properties of a DataItem change at runtime. For example, a Spark DataGrid item renderer relies on data binding to a property of the items in the control's data provider. Because of data binding, when the property changes at runtime, the item renderer updates automatically.

This class is intended to be used in MXML to define object literals whose properties must be bindable. It's typically used to define List or DataGrid data provider items within an MXML file for small applications or examples with item renderers that bind to their data. Non-trival applications, or any application for which performance is a concern, should define a [Bindable] class with a fixed set of strongly typed properties and use that class to define data provider items.
