Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Element	asXml(DslElementModel elementModel) Converts the given DslElementModel into its XML Element representation, populating the given owner Document with all the information required in order for the returned Element to be correctly parsed.
static XmlDslElementModelConverter	getDefault(Document owner) Provides a default implementation of the XmlDslElementModelConverter.

Method Detail

getDefault

static XmlDslElementModelConverter getDefault(Document owner)

Provides a default implementation of the XmlDslElementModelConverter.

The required Document will be used for creating the Elements, thus avoiding the need of deep importing the nodes after creation. This Document will also be enriched with the xmlns alias declarations in the root element, which removes the need of declaring the xmlns in each Element and provides an overall cleaner serialization afterwards.

Parameters:

owner - the Document that will contain the converted Element

Returns:

a default implementation of the XmlDslElementModelConverter

asXml

Element asXml(DslElementModel elementModel)

Converts the given DslElementModel into its XML Element representation, populating the given owner Document with all the information required in order for the returned Element to be correctly parsed.

This method will not append the returned Element to the owner Document, leaving its usage open to whom consumes this service.

Parameters:

elementModel - the DslElementModel to be converted

Returns:

the XML Element representation of the given DslElementModel
