.. py:class:: PlainSpeciesView(obj, **hints)

   Bases: :py:obj:`httk.atomistic.models.species.view_base.SpeciesViewBase`, :py:obj:`dict`


   A view presenting an underlying species backend as an OPTIMADE species dict.

   This view is a genuine ``dict`` carrying the OPTIMADE ``species`` fields (optional
   fields that are ``None`` are omitted; list-valued fields are plain lists). Unlike the
   immutable-subclass views, a dict is mutable, so this view is a detached copy: mutating
   it does not affect the underlying backend.

   :param obj: The species-like object to present.
   :param \**hints: Backend-selection hints.


   .. py:method:: unwrap()

      Return the raw object behind the backend.

      :return: The unwrapped source object.



   .. py:method:: unview()

      Return the presented species as a plain mapping.

      :return: The detached presentation mapping.
