EMdFOutput

Overview

The EMdFOutput class is an abstraction of three things:

• A default encoding (e.g., ISO-8859-1),

• A pointer to a std::ostream descendant to use when outputting, and

• An output kind, telling Emdros whether to use console output, XML output,or JSON outut.

C++ interface

  kCSASCII,
  kCSISO_8859_1,
  kCSISO_8859_8,
  kCSUTF8

typedef enum {
  kOKXML,         // XML.
  kOKConsole,     // Console (more or less human-readable).
  kOKCompactXML,  // Compact XML.
  kOKJSON,        // JSON.
  kOKCompactJSON  // Compact JSON.


} eOutputKind;
