ATLXMISerializer

struct ATLXMISerializer

Overview

ATLXMISerializer converts ATL modules into the standard Eclipse ATL XMI representation, following the ATL metamodel structure defined at http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/2005/ATL.

Overview

The serializer supports all ATL constructs:

• Modules: Top-level transformation units with source/target metamodel references

• Rules: Matched rules, called rules, and lazy rules

• Helpers: Context-free and contextual helper functions

• Queries: Query definitions (when supported)

• Expressions: Full OCL expression trees including let, tuple, iterate, etc.

XMI Format

The generated XMI follows Eclipse ATL standards:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<atl:Module xmi:version="2.0"
            xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
            xmlns:atl="http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/2005/ATL"
            name="ModuleName">
  <!-- Module contents -->
</atl:Module>

Example Usage

let serializer = ATLXMISerializer()
let xmi = try serializer.serialize(atlModule)
print(xmi)
