<h1 class="SECT1"><a name="XMLSEC-NOTES-NEW-CRYPTO-KLASSES">Klasses and objects.</a></h1>
<p>The XML Security Library is written in C but it uses some OOP techniques:
	the objects in the library have "klasses" and there is "klasses" inheritance.
	(see <a href="xmlsec-signature-klasses.html">signature</a> and
	<a href="xmlsec-encryption-klasses.html">encryption</a> klasses 
	diagrams). The "klass" is different from C++ "class" (btw, this is 
	one of the reasons why it is spelled differently). The idea of "klasses" 
	used in XML Security Library are close to one in the GLIB/GTK/GNOME
	and many other C projects. If you ever seen an OOP code written in C
	you should find everything familiar.
	</p>
<p>XML Security Library "klass" includes three main parts:
	</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>"Klass" declaration structure that defines "klass" interfaces
	and global constant data (for example, the human-readable name of 
	the "klass").
	</p>
<div class="EXAMPLE">
<a name="AEN562"></a><p><b>Example 6. Base transform "klass" and its child XPath transform "klass" structure.</b></p>
<pre class="PROGRAMLISTING">struct _xmlSecTransformKlass {
    /* data */
    size_t				klassSize;
    size_t				objSize;
    const xmlChar*			name;
    const xmlChar*			href;
    xmlSecTransformUsage		usage;

    /* methods */
    xmlSecTransformInitializeMethod	initialize;
    xmlSecTransformFinalizeMethod	finalize;

    xmlSecTransformNodeReadMethod	readNode;
    xmlSecTransformNodeWriteMethod	writeNode;

    ...
};

...

static xmlSecTransformKlass xmlSecTransformXPathKlass = {
    /* klass/object sizes */
    sizeof(xmlSecTransformKlass),	/* size_t klassSize */
    xmlSecXPathTransformSize,		/* size_t objSize */

    xmlSecNameXPath,			/* const xmlChar* name; */

    ...
};

</div>
	</li>
<li>
<p>"Klass" id which is simply a pointer to the "klass"
	declaration strucutre. "Klass" id is used to bind "klass" objects 
	to the "klass" declaration and to pass "klass" strucutre to functions.
	</p>
<div class="EXAMPLE">
<a name="AEN567"></a><p><b>Example 7. Base transform "klass" id declaration and its child XPath transform "klass" id implementation.</b></p>
<pre class="PROGRAMLISTING">typedef const struct _xmlSecTransformKlass		xmlSecTransformKlass, *xmlSecTransformId;

</div>

<li>
<p>"Klass" object structure that contains object specific
	data. The child object specific data are placed after the parent "klass"
	object data.
