Example of Serialization Anchors

Example of Serialization Anchors

The following example illustrates three serialization anchors:
global level Parser1_Serializer = Serializer >> level 1 contains line level 1 StringSerializer >> level 2 str = "FirstName:«" level 1 ContentSerializer >> level 2 opening_string = "" level 2 closing_string = "" level 2 data_holder = /Person/*s/Name/*s/First level 1 StringSerializer >> level 2 str = "dot013dot010LastName:«"
The first
StringSerializer
 instructs the Serializer to write the following text in the output document: 
First Name:<tab>
The
ContentSerializer
 writes the value of the
Person/Name/First
 element to the output.
The second
StringSerializer
 writes the string: 
<newline>Last Name:<tab>
The IntelliScript editor represents the newline and tab with ASCII codes and
«
, respectively.
Now, assume that you run the Serializer on the following XML: 
<Person gender="M">
  <Name>
    <First>Ron</First>
    <Last>Lehrer</Last>
  </Name>
  <Id>547329876</Id>
  <Age>27</Age>
</Person>
From the illustrated serialization anchors, the output is: 
First Name<tab>Ron<newline>Last Name<tab>
The display of this text is: 
First Name:     Ron
Last Name:
The Serializer contains additional serialization anchors, which are not shown in the above illustration. The complete output of the Serializer is: 

First Name:     Ron
Last Name:      Lehrer
Id:     547329876
Age:    27
Gender: M
