-These are java archives of an XML file containing alignments, - trees and Jalview display information. A data exchange standard is - currently being developed, so there is no stable schema yet, but - Jalview web services will soon make use of the same interchange - format.
+These are Zip archives of an XML file containing alignments, + trees, Principal Component Analyses (since 2.11.0), 3D structures, + and display information for Jalview, VARNA, Jmol and UCSF Chimera. + XML documents conform to a schema, and changes to the format are + made to ensure future versions of Jalview will be able to read old + Jalview project files.
- For those who want to know...
Jalview uses java classes
- automatically created using Castor.
- Jalview 2.08 uses descriptor classes which significantly increase
- the speed of marshalling / unmarshalling java objects into XML.
- Files created prior to Jalview 2.08 can still be read in, but they
- will be saved in the new format.
+ For those who want to know...
Jalview 2.11.0
+ onwards employ the JAX-B java to XML binding framework to read and
+ write Jalview project files. Earlier versions of Jalview employed Castor. Jalview 2.08 used
+ descriptor classes which significantly increase the speed of
+ marshalling / unmarshalling java objects into XML.
+ Files created prior to Jalview 2.08 can no longer be read by Jalview
+ 2.11.0. If you need to import old project files, then please import
+ them to Jalview 2.10.5 (available from the Jalview version archive)
+ and save the project again to convert it to the new format.
