The IPersistXML interface is implemented by an object that needs to read or write its data as XML. In the context of the order processing pipeline (OPP), it is used to map the contents of a business data object as XML data. This work is performed by the Commerce Interchange MapToXML and MapFromXML components. These components can map the data of any object that implements IPersistXML.
The IPersistXML interface supports the following methods:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| LoadXML | Loads a component’s data from a BSTR. |
| SaveXML | Saves a component’s data as XML. |
