Package Layer

Package Description

The Simple Java API for ODF focuses on the high level methods development. It has three layers:

  1. Feature Layer provides convenient methods for features in ODF documents, for example, table, style, metadata. It has several packages, e.g. org.odftoolkit.simple.table, ''org.odftoolkit.simple.presentation''. Each package is either related with a specific document type or related with a common feature.
  2. Document Layer has classes defined for each document type, for example, TextDocument, PresentationDocument, SpreadsheetDocument. The root package is in this layer.
  3. Business Layer provides more high level methods which are driven from business scenarios. These methods are not related with a document type nor a common feature. The package org.odftoolkit.simple.common package is in this layer.

Following diagram shows the structure of Simple Java API for ODF. The yellow boxes represent packages. The root package is org.odftoolkit.simple. The other packages are under the root package, and the name has eliminated org.odftoolkit.simple.

API changes from ODFDOM

The Simple Java API has corresponding classes for the document layer of ODFDOM. Follow table shows the mapping between ODFDOM and Simple Java API.

Note: The first column "ODFDOM Package" is relative to "org.odftoolkit.odfdom", and the third column "Simple Package" is relative to "org.odftoolkit.simple".

Apache "ODF Toolkit" is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
