  org.mbari.siam.distributed.jddac.ArgXmlConverter

public class ArgXmlConverter
extends java.lang.Object

Encodes and decodes ArgArray and Vector objects into/from XML. This class encapsulates the DefaultXmlCoder into a couple static methods. It provides simple methods to convert a byte array of JDDAC Arg XML into objects and to convert objects into a byte array of JDDAC Arg XML.

DefaultXmlCoder, ArgXmlCoder, ArgTypeConverter
