      • toString

        public void toString​(java.io.Writer stream)
                      throws java.io.IOException
        Converts the active state into something meant for human consumption. The method will be called when recursively traversing the instance tree.
        Specified by:
        toString in class org.griphyn.vdl.Chimera
        Parameters:
        stream - is a stream opened and ready for writing. This can also be a string stream for efficient output.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if something fishy happens to the stream.
      • toXML

        public void toXML​(java.io.Writer stream,
                          java.lang.String indent,
                          java.lang.String namespace)
                   throws java.io.IOException
        Dumps the state of the current element as XML output. However, for the given instance, this class is ludicrious.
        Specified by:
        toXML in class org.griphyn.vdl.Chimera
        Parameters:
        stream - is a stream opened and ready for writing. This can also be a string stream for efficient output.
        indent - is a String of spaces used for pretty printing. The initial amount of spaces should be an empty string. The parameter is used internally for the recursive traversal.
        namespace - is the XML schema namespace prefix. If neither empty nor null, each element will be prefixed with this prefix, and the root element will map the XML namespace.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if something fishy happens to the stream.
