xArchADT - the Data Store for Architecture Descriptions

xArchADT is the topmost component in the ArchStudio 3 architecture. It exposes an event-based programmatic interface that allows other ArchStudio tools to edit xADL 2.0 architecture descriptions. xArchADT manages all 'open' xADL 2.0 documents. It also provides the ability to parse a xADL 2.0 description into memory and write that in-memory description out to an XML file again.

Primarily, xArchADT is of use to ArchStudio component developers. Its use and services are better described in the guide to developing ArchStudio 3 components.
