public abstract class BoxJSONObject
extends Object
```
The abstract base class for all types that contain JSON data returned by the Box API. The most common implementation of BoxJSONObject is BoxResource.Info and its subclasses. Changes made to a BoxJSONObject will be tracked locally until the pending changes are sent back to Box in order to avoid unnecessary network requests.
