+## Intent
+Achieve flexibility of untyped languages and keep the type-safety
+
+
+
+
+
+
+## Applicability
+Use the Abstract Document Pattern when
+
+* there is a need to add new properties on the fly
+* you want a flexible way to organize domain in tree like structure
+* you want more loosely coupled system
+
