LogicBuilder.Workflow.ComponentModel.Serialization

Integration with LogicBuilder.Rules

This library serves as the serialization layer for the LogicBuilder.Rules rulesets, enabling:

• Persistence of workflow rule definitions
• Loading rules from XOML files
• Runtime rule modification and storage
• Design-time rule editing support

Architecture

The library follows the Serialization Provider Pattern, allowing custom types to provide their own serialization logic through:

1. Implementing WorkflowMarkupSerializer for custom types
2. Registering serializers via DefaultSerializationProviderAttribute
3. Using WorkflowMarkupSerializationProvider for service resolution

Testing

Comprehensive test suite included in Workflow.ComponentModel.Serialization.Tests covering:

• Simple and complex property serialization
• Collection and dictionary serialization
• Markup extension processing
• Extended property handling
• Error handling and edge cases
• Round-trip serialization validation

Contributing

Contributions are welcome.
