Package uk.ac.ebi.arrayexpress2.magetab.handler Description

Handler classes, interfaces and utilities for interpreting MAGE-TAB documents and converting to objects in the datamodel and ArrayExpress 2 domain model. This package is split between the idf and sdrf sub-packages, which contain handlers for each type of data in these files. This package also contains an abstract handler implementation, defining common functionality like status updates and common modes of operation (for example: read; write; validate). This package also contains an enum for defining the mode of operation of a handler, and a pool for interacting with and obtaining handlers, making the process of acquiring a handler easier and ensuring handlers can be reused after a given handler task.
