Interface XMLSerializable

All Superinterfaces:
  java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:
  AllocatorContext, ConcurrentContext, Context, FastCollection, FastComparator, FastList, FastMap, FastSet, FastTable, HeapContext, ImmortalContext, Index, LocalContext, LogContext, PersistentContext, SecurityContext, StackContext, StandardLog, TestContext, Text, TimeContext, XMLBinding

    public interface XMLSerializable

extends java.io.Serializable

This interface identifies classes supporting XML serialization (XML serialization is still possible for classes not implementing this interface through dynamic `XMLBinding` though).

Typically, classes implementing this interface have a static `XMLFormat` holding their default XML representation. For example:``

         public final class Complex implements XMLSerializable {

             // Use the cartesien form for the default XML representation.
             static final XMLFormat<Complex> XML = new XMLFormat<Complex>(Complex.class) {
                 public Complex newInstance(Class<Complex> cls, InputElement xml) throws XMLStreamException {
                     return Complex.valueOf(xml.getAttribute("real", 0.0),
                                            xml.getAttribute("imaginary", 0.0));
                 }
                 public void write(Complex complex, OutputElement xml) throws XMLStreamException {
                     xml.setAttribute("real", complex.getReal());
                     xml.setAttribute("imaginary", complex.getImaginary());
                 }
                 public void read(InputElement xml, Complex complex) {
                     // Immutable, deserialization occurs at creation, ref. newIntance(...)
                  }
             };
             ...
         }
