Below is an overview of node types used in the Data Medium Exchange Engine (DMEE) for defining outgoing DME files in the format of XML files:
Node |
Use |
( ) Element |
Represents one line of an XML file; can contain a value itself, or it can be used to group elements as subnodes |
( ) Atom |
Used: 1) to output more than one value to a single element, or 2) to control which value is output to an element (based on conditions) |
( ) Technical node |
Element that is not output to a target file; it stores values that are used in other tree nodes (elements, atoms) by a reference to this node |
( ) XML attribute |
Represents a subnode of an element; provides detailed information for an element; can contain atoms as subnodes (for example, to map conditions) |
