Interface ModuleParserFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultModuleParserFactory

public interface ModuleParserFactory

Interface for creating and managing module parsers.

This interface defines the contract for factory classes that create appropriate parsers for different types of eLearning modules. Implementations should detect the module type and return the corresponding parser.

This interface follows the Factory pattern, allowing different strategies for creating parsers to be implemented and used interchangeably.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
ModuleParser<?>	getParser()	Returns an appropriate parser for the module type detected.
ModuleMetadata<?>	parseModule()	Parses the module and returns a ModuleMetadata object containing the extracted metadata.

Method Details

getParser

ModuleParser<?> getParser()
                   throws ModuleDetectionException

Returns an appropriate parser for the module type detected.

Returns:

A ModuleParser instance for the detected module type.

Throws:

ModuleDetectionException - if the module type cannot be determined.

parseModule

ModuleMetadata<?> parseModule()
                       throws ModuleException

Parses the module and returns a ModuleMetadata object containing the extracted metadata.

Returns:

A ModuleMetadata object containing the extracted metadata.

Throws:

ModuleDetectionException - if the module type cannot be determined.

ModuleParsingException - if an error occurs during parsing.
