public interface Style
TheStyle
interface is used to represent an XML style that can be applied to a serialized object. A style can be used to modify the element and attribute names for the generated document. Styles can be used to generate hyphenated or camel case XML.<example-element> <child-element example-attribute='example'> <inner-element>example</inner-element> </child-element> </example-element>
Above the hyphenated XML elements and attributes can be generated from a style implementation. Styles enable the same objects to be serialized in different ways, generating different styles of XML without having to modify the class schema for that object.
