## org.biojava.bio.seq.io.filterxml
Class XMLAnnotationTypeWriter

    java.lang.Object
      org.biojava.bio.seq.io.filterxml.XMLAnnotationTypeWriter

    public class XMLAnnotationTypeWriter

extends Object

Main class for writing AnnotationTypes as XML. Knows about all the builtin classes of AnnotationType. It's possible to plug new ones in by calling one of the addXMLPropertyConstraintWriter methods.

Since:
  1.3
Author:
  Thomas Down

Nested Class Summary
`static interface` | `XMLAnnotationTypeWriter.XMLCollectionConstraintWriter` Writer for types of CollectionConstraint.
`static interface` | `XMLAnnotationTypeWriter.XMLPropertyConstraintWriter` Writer for types of PropertyConstraint.

Field Summary
`static String` | `XML_ANNOTATIONTYPE_NS` XML namespace string used to the AnnotationType representation

Constructor Summary
`XMLAnnotationTypeWriter()` Construct a new AnnotationTypeWriter which knows about the builtin types of PropertyConstraint

Method Summary
`void` | `addXMLCollectionConstraintWriter(Class clazz, XMLAnnotationTypeWriter.XMLCollectionConstraintWriter xfw)` Register a writer for the specified class of collection constraint
`void` | `addXMLCollectionConstraintWriter(CollectionConstraint pc, XMLAnnotationTypeWriter.XMLCollectionConstraintWriter xfw)` Register a writer for a singleton property constraint.
`void` | `addXMLPropertyConstraintWriter(Class clazz, XMLAnnotationTypeWriter.XMLPropertyConstraintWriter xfw)` Register a writer for the specified class of property constraint
`void` | `addXMLPropertyConstraintWriter(PropertyConstraint pc, XMLAnnotationTypeWriter.XMLPropertyConstraintWriter xfw)` Register a writer for a singleton property constraint.
`boolean` | `isStrict()` Determine if this writer is in strict mode.
`void` | `setIsStrict(boolean b)` Selects strict mode.
`void` | `writeAnnotationType(AnnotationType at, XMLWriter xw)` Write an `AnnotationType` to the specified XMLWriter.

Constructor Detail

### XMLAnnotationTypeWriter

    public XMLAnnotationTypeWriter()

  Construct a new AnnotationTypeWriter which knows about the builtin types of PropertyConstraint

Method Detail

### addXMLPropertyConstraintWriter

    public void addXMLPropertyConstraintWriter(Class clazz,
                                               XMLAnnotationTypeWriter.XMLPropertyConstraintWriter xfw)

  Register a writer for the specified class of property constraint

### addXMLPropertyConstraintWriter

    public void addXMLPropertyConstraintWriter(PropertyConstraint pc,
                                               XMLAnnotationTypeWriter.XMLPropertyConstraintWriter xfw)

  Register a writer for a singleton property constraint.

### addXMLCollectionConstraintWriter

    public void addXMLCollectionConstraintWriter(Class clazz,
                                                 XMLAnnotationTypeWriter.XMLCollectionConstraintWriter xfw)

  Register a writer for the specified class of collection constraint

### addXMLCollectionConstraintWriter

    public void addXMLCollectionConstraintWriter(CollectionConstraint pc,
                                                 XMLAnnotationTypeWriter.XMLCollectionConstraintWriter xfw)

  Register a writer for a singleton property constraint.

### isStrict

    public boolean isStrict()

  Determine if this writer is in strict mode.

### setIsStrict

    public void setIsStrict(boolean b)

  Selects strict mode. In strict mode, the writer will throw an `IllegalArgumentException` if it encounters a type of `PropertyConstraint` it doesn't recognize. When not in strict model, unrecognized constraints are silently replaced by `PropertyConstraint.ANY`. Default is `false`.

### writeAnnotationType

    public void writeAnnotationType(AnnotationType at,
                                    XMLWriter xw)
                             throws IllegalArgumentException,
                                    IOException

  Write an `AnnotationType` to the specified XMLWriter.

  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the AnnotationType contains unrecognized constraints, and the writer is in strict mode.
    `IOException` - if an error occurs while outputting XML.
