David Leangen commented on FELIX-5332:
--------------------------------------
[~bosschaert], in your example above, you suggest:
{code}
mySpecialCodec.decode(sometextfile).withSchema(mySchema).to(MyDTO.class)
{code}
Do you think we should make Schema a public interface, so mySchema is a Schema
object? Or should Schema be "hidden" in the implementation, so mySchema is the
name of the Schema, and the Schema object is private to the implementation?
If Schema is public, we would need to update the API to include both the Schema
and Node interfaces. Is that ok? I think that would be clearer, and therefore
preferable, but I don't know how much flexibility you have with regards to API
changes.
BTW, I believe that the above would actually be:
{code}
mySpecialCodec.decode(sometextfile).to(mySchema)
{code}
or maybe
{code}
mySpecialCodec.decode(sometextfile).with(mySchema)
{code}
The reason is because including both the Schema *and* the target DTO is
redundant, and could cause problems if there is a conflict between the two
(i.e. the target DTO does not match the schema).
