Class BlastLike2XML

java.lang.Object
  extended by eventbasedparsing.BlastLike2XML

public class BlastLike2XML
extends Object

Blast2XML is an application for the conversion native output from BLAST-like bioinformatics software into an XML format.

For currently supported bioinformatics programs, please see the documentation for the BlastLikeSaxParser. This class simply wraps the functionality of BlastLikeToXMLConverter. Please see the documentation of this class for a documented example of how to use the parsing framework.

The XML produced should validate against the biojava BlastLikeDataSetCollection DTD.

Usage is:


 java Blast2XML <blastlike pathname> [-mode <strict|lazy>]
 
-mode is optional paramater. Choosing strict mode will mean the application throws exceptions if the precise version of a given piece of bioinformatics software is not recognised. Lazy mode will attempt to parse the file regardless of version number.

For programs currently supported, please see the documentation for the BlastLikeSAXParser.
