Export Model in XMI Format #11

Open hafiyyan94 opened 6 years ago

To the author,

IFML is already OMG standard modeling language, so to exchange data to another tools, the model should be able to saved into XMI file format. I hope that in the future this feature will be able to be implemented

@hafiyyan94 thank you for your interest in the project.

This is definetly an important feature and is in the todo list.

The version implemented in the tool is a restricted dialect of the full OMG standard, but it should be perfectly compatible with the XMI format.

Due to the restricted manpower on the project, and some design decisions, dealing with the XMI format was overkilling and definetly a nogo.

We have opted for ALMOsT.js as framework ad used its format for model storage. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-60131-1_5

It should be straightforward to implement a model to text transformation rule to generate the required file.
