##Design Choices I chose to use this HashedInfo HashMap wrapper as a primary form of search result because of its customization. Using a Person-like class for search results would have been silly because each result would have many, many unused instance variable: it would have been wasteful and confusing. Thus, I created this HashedInfo class to contain only necessary values. I created it as a wrapper for the HashMap class rather than using multiple HashMaps for ease of transfer and creation. In order to pass, say 100 HashMaps, I would have had to create, and name 100 HashMaps; here, I can simply pass the HashMap to this class which will replicate and wrap it, as seen throughout my code.

I also have the potentially confusing two-layer facade (one in front of the GUI and one in front of the Parser). This choice was made so the Parser could interact with a wide variety of "front-ends", like the GUI I created. This is also why the results from the MovieInterpreter class are returned in the format best fitting the requested data rather than a standardized String. The GUI Controller is essentially responsible for interpreting these results into something that can be displayed in the GUI result area.
