## ix.util.xml
Class XMLTranslator

    java.lang.Object
      ix.util.xml.XMLTranslator

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Loader, Saver

Direct Known Subclasses:
  XMLTreeSendFrame.SubversiveTranslator

    public class XMLTranslator

extends java.lang.Object
implements Loader, Saver

A class for translating between objects and XML. Note that a single XMLTranslator maps in both directions to make it easier to create mappings that are consistent.

### outputter

    protected org.jdom.output.XMLOutputter outputter

### prefilter

    protected Function1 prefilter

### defaultSetClass

    protected java.lang.Class defaultSetClass

### defaultMapClass

    protected java.lang.Class defaultMapClass

### requireNamespace

    protected boolean requireNamespace

  Is an I-X namespace required in input XML? Initially false.

### homeNamespace

    protected org.jdom.Namespace homeNamespace

  The namespace used in elements that represent object classes and fields. It is defined without a prefix and so will be declared as the default namespace for the elements in which it's used. (That may sound odd from an XML point of view, but it's how it works in JDOM.)

### homeNamespaceURI

    protected java.lang.String homeNamespaceURI

  The URI for the home namespace.

### mostRecentHomeNamespace

    protected org.jdom.Namespace mostRecentHomeNamespace

  Size 1 cache for fast comparisons.

  See Also:
    `isHomeNamespace(Namespace)`

Constructor Detail

### XMLTranslator

    public XMLTranslator()

### XMLTranslator

    public XMLTranslator(ClassSyntax syntax)

Method Detail

### getClassSyntax

    public ClassSyntax getClassSyntax()

### getOutputter

    public org.jdom.output.XMLOutputter getOutputter()

### setPrefilter

    public void setPrefilter(Function1 f)

### setPostfilter

    public void setPostfilter(Function1 f)

### setOmitImplAttributes

    public void setOmitImplAttributes(boolean v)

  Controlls whether or not `implClass` attributes are added to List, Set, and Map elements when converting to XML. Note that if it's set to true, the XML will not contain enough information to determine the original implementation classes and the translator will have to do its best to make reasonable choices based on field classes and the defaults.

### getHomeNamespace

    public org.jdom.Namespace getHomeNamespace()

  Returns the home namespace used by this XMLTranslator.

### nsElement

    protected org.jdom.Element nsElement(java.lang.String name)

  Utility that creates an element in the home namespace.

### setRequireNamespace

    public void setRequireNamespace(boolean v)

  Controls whether element names must be in the home namespace for the elements to be translatable to objects.

  See Also:
    `looksLikeAnObjectDocument(Document)`

### isHomeNamespace

    protected boolean isHomeNamespace(org.jdom.Namespace namespace)

### isHomeNamespaceURI

    protected boolean isHomeNamespaceURI(java.lang.String uri)

### writeObject

    public void writeObject(java.lang.Object obj,
                            java.io.File file)
                     throws java.io.IOException

  Specified by:
    `writeObject` in interface `Saver`
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### objectToXMLString

    public java.lang.String objectToXMLString(java.lang.Object obj)

  Converts an object to a string of XML. The object is converted to a JDOM Document by `objectToDocument(Object)` and then to a string by `documentToXMLString(org.jdom.Document)`.

### documentToXMLString

    public java.lang.String documentToXMLString(org.jdom.Document doc)

  Converts a JDOM Document to a string of XML.

### objectToDocument

    public org.jdom.Document objectToDocument(java.lang.Object obj)

  Converts an object to a JDOM Document.

### objectToElement

    protected org.jdom.Element objectToElement(java.lang.Object obj)

  Converts an object to a JDOM Element. This is the central recursion point for the conversion process; it determines which of the `typeToElement(Object)` methods to call.

  If the prefilter is not null, it is called on the object before translation begins, and the result is used instead the original object. (Of course, the prefilter could just return the original object, but this enables it to supply a substitute.)

  See Also:
    `setPrefilter(Function1)`

### primitiveObjectToElement

    protected org.jdom.Element primitiveObjectToElement(java.lang.Object obj)

### stringToElement

    protected org.jdom.Element stringToElement(java.lang.Object obj)

### embeddedXMLToElement

    protected org.jdom.Element embeddedXMLToElement(java.lang.Object obj)

### listToElement

    protected org.jdom.Element listToElement(java.lang.Object obj)

                                                   java.util.Collection obj)

### mapToElement

    protected org.jdom.Element mapToElement(java.lang.Object obj)

### setImplAttribute

    protected void setImplAttribute(org.jdom.Element elt,
                                    java.lang.String className)

### structToElement

    protected org.jdom.Element structToElement(java.lang.Object obj)

### isAttributeClass

    public boolean isAttributeClass(java.lang.Class c)

### readObject

    public java.lang.Object readObject(java.net.URL url)
                                throws java.io.IOException

  Specified by:
    `readObject` in interface `Loader`
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### objectFromXML

    public java.lang.Object objectFromXML(java.lang.String text)

  Converts a string of XML to an object.

### objectFromDocument

    public java.lang.Object objectFromDocument(org.jdom.Document doc)

  Converts a JDOM Document to an object. This method, or one that calls it, is what should normally be called from outside the translator - rather than calling objectFromElement(elt) directly.

### looksLikeAnObjectDocument

    public boolean looksLikeAnObjectDocument(org.jdom.Document doc)

### getLastExaminedElement

    public org.jdom.Element getLastExaminedElement()

  Returns the JDOM Element most recently examined by the methods that convert XML to objects. This may be useful when handling or reporting an exception.

### objectFromElement

    public java.lang.Object objectFromElement(org.jdom.Element elt)

  Converts a JDOM Element to an object. This is the central recursion point of the translation process; it determines which of the `typeFromElement` methods to call.

  If the postfilter is not null, it is called on the object before it is returned, and the result of that call is returned instead.

  Note that most of the work, and the calling of the postfiler, are actually done in the 2-argument version of this method and that some recursions may go directly to that method.

    `objectFromElement(Class, Element)`, `setPostfilter(Function1)`

    protected java.lang.Object objectFromElement(java.lang.Class c,
