Package org.silverpeas.core.importexport

Provides an API for exporters and importers of Silverpeas resources into and from a serializable form in a given format (PDF, iCal, JSON, and so on).

An exporter is a processor aimed to take a given type of a Silverpeas resource for serializing it in a dedicated format into an output stream. An importer is a processor aimed to take an input stream from which is deserialized a Silverpeas resource. Exporters and importers aren't for data source access purpose. Prefer the use of the Silverpeas Persistence API for doing.
