| | 1 | === XML Output === |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | The XML output consists of (currently) three XML files storing the relevant data extracted from the TTCN-3 sources in a structured intermediate format. The currently generated XML files are: |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | * {{{project.xml}}} - This file contains the most comprehensive information and represents an abstracted version of the source TTCN-3 files, including module structure, the individual elements, their bodies (if configured so), and T3Doc comments for every module, group, and element of the processed TTCN-3 files. It serves as a basis for the main and the module parameter / test case views (for details on the separate views, see Section Views below). |
| | 6 | * {{{imports.xml}}} - This file contains information about the imports and dependency relations of the processed TTCN-3 modules. It serves as a basis for the import / module dependency view. |
| | 7 | * {{{dependencies.xml}}} - This file can be thought of as a blend between an abstracted version of the main {{{project.xml}}} file and a low-level version of the {{{imports.xml}}} file, featuring a compact representation of the low-level dependencies at the module definition (element) level - it contains all the module definitions and all the known and unknown elements referenced directly within each module definition, where unknown elements are currently prefixed with {{{unresolvedReference---}}}. There is no separate view associated to this file, since it is basically a compact representation of the main view and its main intent is the use with third-party tools to perform custom tasks, such as slicing or markup of definitions related to a particular module definition (e.g. approved / locked definitions, etc.). |

| | 9 | These XML files serve as a basis for the HTML generation. They can also be utilized by custom third-party tools to produce different output depending on the particular needs. More information on this is available in the T3D technical documentation. |
