      • getType

        public static java.lang.Class<? extends XAttribute> getType​(XAttribute attribute)
        For the given attribute, returns its type, i.e., the most high-level, typed interface this attribute implements.
        Parameters:
        attribute - Attribute to analyze.
        Returns:
        High-level type interface of this attribute.

      • getTypeString

        public static java.lang.String getTypeString​(XAttribute attribute)
        For the given attribute, derives the standardized string describing the attributes specific type (used, e.g., for serialization).
        Parameters:
        attribute - Attribute to extract type string from.
        Returns:
        String representation of the attribute's specific type.

      • derivePrototype

        public static XAttribute derivePrototype​(XAttribute instance)
        Derives a prototype for the given attribute. This prototype attribute will be equal in all respects, expect for the value of the attribute. This value will be set to a default value, depending on the specific type of the given attribute.
        Parameters:
        instance - Attribute to derive prototype from.
        Returns:
        The derived prototype attribute.

      • composeAttribute

        public static XAttribute composeAttribute​(XFactory factory,
                                          java.lang.String key,
                                          java.lang.String value,
                                          java.lang.String type,
                                          XExtension extension)
        Composes the appropriate attribute type from the string-based information found, e.g., in XML serializations.
        Parameters:
        factory - Factory to use for creating the attribute.
        key - Key of the attribute.
        value - Value of the attribute.
        type - Type string of the attribute.
        extension - Extension of the attribute (can be null).
        Returns:
        An appropriate attribute.

      • extractExtensions

        public static java.util.Set<XExtension> extractExtensions​(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,​XAttribute> attributeMap)
        Static helper method for extracting all extensions from an attribute map.
        Parameters:
        attributeMap - The attribute map from which to extract extensions.
        Returns:
        The set of extensions in the attribute map.
