Class SimpleXStreamSerializer

java.lang.Object

org.openmrs.serialization.SimpleXStreamSerializer

All Implemented Interfaces:

OpenmrsSerializer

public class SimpleXStreamSerializer
extends Object
implements OpenmrsSerializer

This serializer uses the xstream library to serialize and deserialize objects.
All classes are automatically aliased. So a serialization of the Patient class will not be: <org.openmrs.Patient ...> <element ... </org.openmrs.Patient> but instead will be: <patient ...> <element ... </patient>
