Direct Known Subclasses:

public class SaveState
extends XmlProperties

Class for saving name/value pairs as XML or Json. Classes that want to be able to save their state can do so using the SaveState object. The idea is that each state variable in the class is first saved into a SaveState object via a String key. Then the SaveState object is written out as XML or Json. When the save state object is restored, the SaveState object is constructed with an XML Element or JsonObject that contains all of the name/value pairs. Since the "get" methods require a default value, the object that is recovering its state variables will be successfully initialized even if the given key,value pair is not found in the SaveState object.

Note: Names for options are assumed to be unique. When a putXXX() method is called, if a value already exists for a name, it will be overwritten.

The SaveState supports the following types:

      java primitives
      arrays of java primitives
      String
      Color
      Font
      KeyStroke
      File
      Date
      Enum
      SaveState (values can be nested SaveStates)
