Re: [wtp-incubator-dev] VEX: Why is StyleSheet serializable?
|
I think at one point in VEX's design there was some intention of
serializing the objects to a data store. But honestly, I don't see the
need, since the source is XML. Holger what do you think?

StyleSheet and all its contained classes are implementing the

instances of LexicalUnit are also serializable by cloning the original
LexicalUnit instances.
But I could not find any place where a StyleSheet is serialized or
deserialized. Is there any use of this ability left in Vex? I know
this behavior from other XML editors like XMetaL or Arbortext Editor,
which kind of compile the grammar and stylesheets to speedup the
parsing and creation of content.
A lot of effort is put in this facet of StyleSheet. If it can be
removed, the code will be much clearer and easier to understand. But
only as long it is not used anywhere.
Any hints or thoughts on this?
