public interface XMLsaveable
extends XMLizable

An object that implements this interface can be saved to (and loaded from) an XML file. This interface only specifies the file saving -- it is the responsibility of the implementing class to take care of the loading, and subsequent instantiation. Typically it may be a constructor which takes a File or URL, or it may be a static method, e.g. public static Object load(File file) or public static Object load(URL url).
