AssociationsSerializer Class Reference

#include <adskDataAssociationsSerializer.h>

Class Description

Class handling the definition of the format for serialization of adsk::Data::Associations.

The adsk::Data::Associations class manages Associations definitions. They are persisted using a serialization format implemented through the adsk::Data::AssociationsSerializer hierarchy. The base class defines the interface and manages the list of available Associations serialization formats.

Examples:

Associations * read ( std::istream &  cSrc, std::string &  errors  ) const

pure virtual

Implement this to parse the serialized form of an adsk::Data::Associations object.

Given an input stream containing your serialization of an adsk::Data::Associations object parse the data and create the adsk::Data::Associations object it describes.

If there are any problems the detailed error information should be returned in the errors string.

The adsk::Data::Associations parsing should also recursively populate any adsk::Data::Channels and adsk::Data::Streams within the adsk::Data::Associations.

This method should be capable of understanding any data your adsk::Data::AssociationsSerializer::write() method can provide.

Parameters

[in]	cSrc	Input stream containing serialization of the adsk::Data::Associations object
[out]	errors	String containing description of parse errors

Returns

Pointer to the newly created adsk::Data::Associations object

int write ( const Associations &  dataToWrite, std::ostream &  cDst, std::string &  errors  ) const

pure virtual

Implement this to output the adsk::Data::Associations definition in your serialization format.

Given an adsk::Data::Associations object and an output stream as destination write out enough information so that you can recreate the adsk::Data::Associations from data in the output stream using your adsk::Data::AssociationsSerializer::read() method.

This recursively includes all adsk::Data::Channels used by the adsk::Data::Associations, adsk::Data::Streams within those adsk::Data::Channels, and data within the adsk::Data::Streams.

Parameters

[in]	dataToWrite	adsk::Data::Associations to be serialized
[out]	cDst	Output stream to which the object is to be serialized
[out]	errors	String containing description of output errors

Returns

number of errors found during write (0 means success)

void getFormatDescription ( std::ostream &  info ) const

pure virtual

Implement this to provide a description of your adsk::Data::Associations serialization format.

Output a textual description of your serialization format into the given stream.

Parameters

[out]

info

Output stream to receive your serialization format description
