Generating an XML file based on the model [message #235118]

Hello,

I have created a graphical modeling tool using GMF. I now want to create
an XML file of the model a user can create.

I thought the best way is to access the internal structure that stores the
current model, iterating over it and build an XML file...

I couldn't find any information regarding how one can access this
structure... I guess its located in the *.diagram.application package?
...isn't it?

I would be glad if anybody could get a hint... or, is there another way to
generate an XML file based on the model?

Hello Scholle,

You can load diagram/domain model files using EMF Resources API and brows
contents as EMF-generated domain model API/diagram (notation model) one.

You can initialize domain model using XSD document for this XMl format -
as a result domain model file will be stored in accordance with this XSD
(you can generate diagram editor editing this XML document, so you don't
need to transform data to this XML format afterwards).
