SBMLConverterRegistry Class Reference

Detailed Description

Registry of all SBML converters.

This class of objects is defined by libSBML only and has no direct equivalent in terms of SBML components. It is a class used in the implementation of extra functionality provided by libSBML.

LibSBML provides facilities for transforming and converting SBML documents in various ways. These transformations can involve essentially anything that can be written algorithmically; examples include converting the units of measurement in a model, or converting from one Level+Version combination of SBML to another. Converters are implemented as objects derived from the class SBMLConverter.

The converter registry, implemented as a singleton object of class SBMLConverterRegistry, maintains a list of known converters and provides methods for discovering them. Callers can use the method SBMLConverterRegistry::getNumConverters() to find out how many converters are registered, then use SBMLConverterRegistry::getConverterByIndex() to iterate over each one; alternatively, callers can use SBMLConverterRegistry::getConverterFor() to search for a converter having specific properties.
