What are objects/Items ?

Objects or Items are of different types, they can contain data, instructions or both.
The data: can be read and displayed by the QuantShare
The instructions: QuantShare can follow instructions found in objects to accomplish or create something.

Example:
List of rules objects: Contains list of rules with iterations details (Only Data)
Download Scripts: Contains settings data and instructions on how to download and parse specific data. (Data and instruction)

Example: You may want to download stock news from Google and import the data into your QuantShare database.
This could be done using the downloader plug-in, but may require some time and a some understanding on how the downloader plug-in works.
Another solution is to do a search in the Sharing Server, maybe another user has already created and uploaded the download item you are looking for.
