</div>
<div class="refsect1">
<a name="NAIFactoryProvider.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>
<span class="productname">Nautilus-Actions</span>™ has to deal with a relatively great number of elementary datas,
reading them from different supports, storing and displaying them,
then re-writing these same datas, with several output formats, and so on.
</p>
<p>
This has rapidly become a pain, if not just a bug generator.
Each new data must be described, have a schema to be stored in
(historical storage subsystem) GConf; import and export assistants
must be carefully updated to export the new data...
</p>
<p>
The <a class="link" href="NAIFactoryProvider.html" title="NAIFactoryProvider"><span class="type">NAIFactoryProvider</span></a> aims to simplify and organize all the work
which must be done around each and every elementary data. It is based
on three main things:
</p>
<p>
</p>
<div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1">
<li class="listitem"><p><b>Elementary datas are banalized. </b>
        whether they are a string, an integer, a boolean, a simple
        or double-linked list, each elementary data is encapsuled
        into a <a class="link" href="NADataBoxed.html" title="NADataBoxed"><span class="type">NADataBoxed</span></a>, small sort of structure (incidentally,
        which acts almost as the new GLib <a href="http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/unstable/glib-GVariant.html#GVariant"><span class="type">GVariant</span></a>, but too late,
        guys :)).
      </p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><b>Our objects are de-structured. </b>
        Instead of organizing our elementary datas into structures,
        our objects are just flat lists of <a class="link" href="NADataBoxed.html" title="NADataBoxed"><span class="type">NADataBoxed</span></a>.
      </p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><b>A full, centralized, data dictionary is defined. </b>
        Now that our elementary datas are banalized and de-structured,
        it is simple enough to describe each of these datas with all
        iss properties in one single, centralized, place.
      </p></li>
</ol></div>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Of course, I/O providers are good candidates to be users of this
<a class="link" href="NAIFactoryProvider.html" title="NAIFactoryProvider"><span class="type">NAIFactoryProvider</span></a> interface.
</p>
<p>
Without this interface, each and every I/O provider must,
for example when reading an item, have the list of data to be
read for each item, then read each individual data, then
organize them in a I/O structure..
Each time a new data is added to an object, as e.g. a new condition,
then all available I/O providers must be updated: read the data,
write the data, then display the data, and so on..
</p>
<p>
With this <a class="link" href="NAIFactoryProvider.html" title="NAIFactoryProvider"><span class="type">NAIFactoryProvider</span></a> interface, the I/O provider has just to
deal with reading/writing elementary types. It does need to know that
it will have to read, name, tooltip, description. It just needs to know
how to read a string.
And while we do not introduce another data type, the I/O provider
does not need any maintenance even if we add lot of new data, conditions
labels, and so on.
</p>
<p>
So, this is the interface used by data factory management system for
providing serialization/unserialization services. This interface may
be implemented by I/O providers which would take advantage of this
system.
