ElementInterface

Provides an interface for render element plugins.

Render element plugins allow modules to declare their own Render API element types and specify the default values for the properties. The values returned by the getInfo() method of the element plugin will be merged with the properties specified in render arrays. Thus, you can specify defaults for any Render API keys, in addition to those explicitly documented by \Drupal\Core\Render\ElementInfoManagerInterface::getInfo().

Some render elements are specifically form input elements; see \Drupal\Core\Render\Element\FormElementInterface for more information.
