Document Type Association Preferences
Oxygen JSON Editor uses document type associations to associate a document type with a set of functionality provided by a framework. To configure the Document Type Association options, open the Preferences dialog box and go to Document Type Association.
The following actions are available in this preferences page:
- Discover more frameworks by using add-ons update sites
- Click on this link to specify URLs for framework add-on update sites.
- Document Type Table
- This table presents the currently defined frameworks (document type associations), sorted by priority and alphabetically. Each edited document type has a set of association rules (used by the application to detect the proper document type association to use for an open XML document).
- Disable all
- Disables all document types listed in the table.
- New
- Opens a Document type configuration dialog box that allows you to add a new framework.
- Edit
- Opens a Document type configuration dialog box that allows
you to edit an existing framework.Note: If you try to edit an existing framework when you do not have write permissions to its storage location, a dialog box will be shown asking if you want to extend it.
- Duplicate
- Opens a Document type configuration dialog box that allows you to duplicate the configuration of an existing framework. This will create a snapshot of the framework in its current form. It is merely a copy of the document type and will not evolve along with the base document type as the Extend action does.
- Extend
- Opens a Document type configuration dialog box that allows you to extend an existing framework. You can add or remove functionality starting from a base document type. All of these changes will be saved as a patch. When the base document type is modified and evolves (for example, from one application version to another) the extension will evolve along with the base document type, allowing it to use the new actions added in the base document type.
- Delete
- Deletes the selected framework (document type).
