# Translation And Serialization Toolkit
-A toolkit made to help with converting between input files and Java Objects. This will herein be reffered to as Taskit.

-## What is Taskit?
-Taskit is a library that was created to faciliate converting from various input files into Java Objects. This is espcially useful for Simulation Models such as [GCM](https://github.com/HHS/ASPR-8).
+The Translation and Serialization Tookkil (Taskit) is a library that was created to faciliate converting from various input files into Java Objects. This is espcially useful for Simulation Models such as [GCM](https://github.com/HHS/ASPR-8).
Currently there is only 1 supported serialzation format, and that is protobuf. Other formats such as binary will follow in the future.
+As of v3.2.0, this project is in Maven Central.

[Core](core) is the base taskit engine and contains the root level functionality that drives the translation and serialization.
This library contains the base TranslationController class, the base TranslationSpec class and the base TranslationEngine class.
-#### Translation Controller
+#### TranslationController
The TranslationController class handles the delgation of reading/writing from/to input/output files.
#### TranslationSpec
The TranslationSpec class is an abstract class that must be impleneted to define how to convert between two Java Types, generally the input Java type and the application Java Type.
#### TranslationEngine
-The TranslationEngine class delgates the converting of one type to another as well as doing the actual reading/writing as delegated by the TranslationController.
