| − | =Overview=
| |
| − | | |
| − | The ODFDOM project's objective is to provide an API for easily reading, writing and manipulating ODF documents. ODFDOM implements a layered approach through which documents are accessed.
| |
| − | * The ODF Package / Physical Layer - provides direct access to the resources that are stored in the ODF package, such as XML streams, images or embedded objects.
| |
| − | * The ODF Typed DOM / XML Layer - provides classes for all XML elements. XML attributes are mapped to class attributes. It is a typed DOM as every ODF XML element is represented by a different class, generated from the ODF RelaxNG schema. This level is concerned with the representation of the content of the standardized XML streams of the underlying package using the language independent W3C DOM API. This layer easily provides the ODF developer with all informations about the ODF XML structure.
| |
| − | * The ODF Document / Convenient Layer - represents components consisting of multiple underlying XML elements. This level is concerned with usability aids, which are not specified by the ODF standard.
| |
| − | * The Customized ODF Document / Extendable Layer - not part of the delivered API, but part of the design. This level is concerned with user defined customizations.

| − | ODFDOM is part of the [http://odftoolkit.openoffice.org odftoolkit project]. Development is discussed on the [http://odftoolkit.openoffice.org/servlets/SummarizeList?listName=dev dev@odftoolkit.openoffice.org mailing list].

| − | ==The Package Layer==
| |
| − | | |
| − | At this level, a document is represented as a package of named resources. All resources can be accessed as streams.
| |
| − | Resources that are XML can additionally be accessed as DOM documents. For standardized file streams explicit methods are being provided.

| − | The following example illustrates how to access documents on the package level:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | import org.openoffice.odf.pkg.OdfPackage;
| |
| − | [...]
| |
| − | | |
| − | // loads the ODF document package from the path
| |
| − | OdfPackage pkg = OdfPackage.load("/home/myDocuments/myVacation.odt");
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | // loads the image from the URL and inserts the image in the package, adapting the manifest
| |
| − | pkg.insert("http://myweb.org/images/myHoliday.png", "/Pictures/myHoliday.png");
| |
| − | </pre>
