Description

The Hop API has XML serialization related methods and constructors in the code.

There are a few things that need to happen:

1. Remove any references to variables (IVariables) since metadata needs to be stateless.
2. Remove any XML serialization methods and constructors
3. Create a new serialization factory that supports XML, JSON and YAML for serialization.

 

Since this is breaking the Apache Hop API this is a task for version 3.x or later.
