Provides support for loading and saving objects to annotation files.

public class AnnCodecs 
Public Class AnnCodecs 
public sealed class AnnCodecs 
@interface LTAnnCodecs : NSObject
public class AnnCodecs
function Leadtools.Annotations.Core.AnnCodecs()
Remarks

This class supports loading and saving annotation objects from/to XML strings as well as getting information about previously saved annotations data.

This class also supports saving and loading multi-page annotation data where each page contains a full Annotation Container.

Use the AnnCodecs.Save, AnnCodecs.SaveToString or SaveAsync methods to save an annotation container as XML data. You can then use the browser capabilities to save this XML data to disk or use a Web Service to store it on a server. The SerializeOptions property can be used to set saving options and monitor the objects being saved.

Use the AnnCodecs.Load, AnnCodecs.LoadFromString or AnnCodecs.LoadAsync methods to load an annotation container from XML data. The XML data must be previously loaded from disk using the browser capabilities or obtained from a server using a Web Service. The DeserializeOptions property can be used to set loading options, monitor the objects being loaded and handle errors.

Use GetInfo, GetInfoFromString or GetInfoAsync to check if an XML data contains valid annotations data such as the format and number of pages.

LEADTOOLS supports saving multiple annotations into the same data. This can be used to save the annotations of a multi-page document in the same data.

Use AnnCodecs.Save(string fileName, AnnLayer layer, AnnFormat format, int savePageNumber), AnnCodecs.SaveLayer(Stream stream, AnnLayer layer, AnnFormat format, int savePageNumber) and AnnCodecs.SaveLayerToString to save individual annotation layers.
