Class CDCodec

java.lang.Object
  org.jscience.ml.openmath.codec.CDCodec

public abstract class CDCodec
extends java.lang.Object

A codec that translates (XML-encoded) OpenMath objects as defined in the Content Dictionary it implements to their backengine equivalent and vice-versa.

Note that this kind of Codec always needs a master codec as parent to terminate properly.

Field Summary

protected Codec

mParent Stores the parent Codec.

Constructor Summary

CDCodec()
Constructor.

CDCodec(Codec parent)
Constructor (parameterized).

Method Summary

java.lang.String	decode(java.lang.String syntax) Decodes the backengine syntax to a XML-encoded OM-object.
OMObject	decodeOMObject(java.lang.String syntax) Decodes the backengine-syntax to an OM-object.
java.lang.String	encode(java.lang.String string) Encodes the XML-encoded OM-object.
java.lang.String	encodeOMObject(OMObject object) Encodes the OM-object to backengine-syntax.
Codec	getParent() Gets the parent-object.
void	setParent(Codec parent) Sets the parent-object.
