Interface Writer<T>

Functional Interface:
This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
@FunctionalInterface public interface Writer<T>
XML writer interface, used for writing objects in XML format. The following XML will show the marshaled representation of an IntegerChromosome. 
 
 <int-chromosome length="3">
     <min>-2147483648</min>
     <max>2147483647</max>
     <alleles>
         <allele>-1878762439</allele>
         <allele>-957346595</allele>
         <allele>-88668137</allele>
     </alleles>
 </int-chromosome>
The XML has been written by the following Writer definition.
final Writer<IntegerChromosome> writer = elem("int-chromosome", attr("length").map(ch -> ch.length()), elem("min", Writer.<Integer>text().map(ch -> ch.getMin())), elem("max", Writer.<Integer>text().map(ch -> ch.getMax())), elem("alleles", elems("allele", Writer.<Integer>text()) .map(ch -> ISeq.of(ch).map(g -> g.getAllele())) ) );
How to write the XML writing is shown by the next code snippet.
final IntegerChromosome ch = IntegerChromosome.of(MIN_VALUE, MAX_VALUE, 3); try (AutoCloseableXMLStreamWriter xml = XML.writer(out, indent)) { write(ch, xml); }

  • Method Details

    • write

      void write(XMLStreamWriter xml, T data) throws XMLStreamException
      Write the data of type T to the given XML stream writer.
      Parameters:
      xml - the underlying XMLStreamWriter, where the value is written to
      data - the value to write
      Throws:
      XMLStreamException - if writing the data fails
      NullPointerException - if one of the arguments is null

    • map

      default <B> Writer<B> map(Function<? super B,? extends T> mapper)
      Maps this writer to a different base type. Mapping to a different data type is necessary when you are going to write sub-objects of your basic data type T. E.g. the chromosome length or the min and max value of an IntegerChromosome.
      Type Parameters:
      B - the new data type of returned writer
      Parameters:
      mapper - the mapper function
      Returns:
      a writer with changed type

    • attr

      static <T> Writer<T> attr(String name)
      Writes the attribute with the given name to the current outer element.
      final Writer<String> writer1 = elem("element", attr("attribute"));
      Type Parameters:
      T - the writer base type
      Parameters:
      name - the attribute name
      Returns:
      a new writer instance
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if the attribute name is null

    • attr

      static <T> Writer<T> attr(String name, Object value)
      Writes the attribute with the given name and a constant value to the current outer element.
      final Writer<MyObject> = elem("element", attr("version", "1.0"));
      Type Parameters:
      T - the writer base type
      Parameters:
      name - the attribute name
      value - the attribute value
      Returns:
      a new writer instance
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if one of the name is null

    • elem

      @SafeVarargs static <T> Writer<T> elem(String name, Writer<? super T>... children)
