<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">During the experiments I found generic map-of-maps is too loose and missing any formatting information.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">The API below has been derived from the requirements of the actual ClassPrinter and made as a minimal set of formatting features unified for producing JSON, YAML and XML.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">The API also tries to avoid problematic combinations (for example list of lists is not possible, but list of maps of lists works perfectly).</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Each Classfile API model can provide its printable form in the future.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Printers implementations are generic and very simple (~80 lines of code each, mainly one big switch expression) and custom printers can be implemented.
