Embeddables

Embeddables are like entities, but do not have real tables or collection. They work like entities for validations and computed fields but cannot exist without entities. They are useful to create validated nested structures as JSON objects in relational table or as nested document in NoSQL collections. Embeddables can also refer to other embeddables.
