Package ca.uqac.lif.azrael Description

Core package containing only the definition of the interfaces.

Typically, if you want to create objects that support serialization, you only need to import this package into your project and make sure your objects implement the Readable and Printable interfaces.

On the other hand, if you want to use serialization, you also need one of the concrete packages that implement serialization (such as ca.uqac.lif.azrael.json or ca.uqac.lif.azrael.xml).
