It's a bag, for CB data. If we need to create a CB object from CB data (array) we can use this dataBag object as a private entity class property. The dataBag can contain one or more entities. For each entity we can get/set properties by path. If we need to persist the entity back into CB use getState to fetch the (updated) data array.
