Magritte-XMLBinding API question

Hello, I’m working on the Magritte-XMLBinding package. With this package you can export Magritte objects as XML and read Magritte described objects from XML. I would like to have a nice simple API that is easy to understand. I’m looking for some feedback. Assume we have the following description: MXPerson>>descriptionName ^MAStringDescription new accessor: #name; label: 'Name'; If we want to export the name property as a xml element we add the beXmlElement message. By default it will add an extra element with the accessor name as the element name and the value as the element contents: <MXPerson> <name>Pete</name> </MXPerson> Optionally we can specify an alternative xml element name: description beXmlElement; xmlElementName: 'person-name'. Or do you like this API better? description beXmlElement: 'person-name'. The output: <MXPerson> <person-name>Pete</person-name> </MXPerson> It is also possible to store a property as an xml attribute of the parent element: description beXmlAttribute. <MXPerson name='Pete'> </MXPerson> Or in a property of a separate element: description beXmlElementWithAttribute <MXPerson> <name value='Pete' /> </MXPerson> The element and attribute names can be customized: description beXmlElementWithAttribute; xmlElementName: 'xname'; xmlAttributeName: 'yvalue'. OR: description beXmlElement: 'xname' withAttribute: 'yvalue'. Is the "be" message with arguments better or should a "be" message always have zero arguments? Jan.
