The following rules apply to all external programming interface specifications for OpenOffice. The API consists of the following stereotypes or design elements:
Structures
- Structures are used to specify simple composed data elements.(Structures only consist of data, not methods.)
Exceptions
- Exceptions are used for error handling.(Exceptions can be thrown or transported using an any.)
Interfaces
- Interfaces are used to specify a single aspect in behavior.(Interfaces only consist of methods, not data.)
Services
- Services are used to specify abstract objects.(Services specify properties and the interaction of the supported interfaces.)
Typedefs
- Typedefs are used to define basic types for specific purposes.(This stereotype should be used carefully.)
