SchemaSourceProvider (yangtools-docs 4.0.3 API)

Type Parameters:

T - Schema source representation type provided by this implementation

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractSchemaSourceCache, FilesystemSchemaSourceCache, InMemorySchemaSourceCache, SchemaSourceTransformer, TextToASTTransformer, YangTextSchemaContextResolver, YinTextToDomTransformer
```
@Beta
public interface SchemaSourceProvider<T extends SchemaSourceRepresentation>
```
Schema source provider implementations take care of resolving a SourceIdentifier into a particular representation of the schema source. Examples of resolution include fetching the source from an external source, opening a classpath resource, or similar.

```
ListenableFuture<? extends T> getSource(SourceIdentifier sourceIdentifier)
```
    Returns a representation a for supplied YANG source identifier. The resolution criteria are as follows:
    
    If the source identifier specifies a revision, this method returns either a representation of that particular revision or throw MissingSchemaSourceException.
    If the source identifier does not specify a revision, this method returns the newest available revision, or throws MissingSchemaSourceException.
    
    In either case the returned representation is required to report a non-null revision in the SourceIdentifier returned from SchemaSourceRepresentation.getIdentifier().
    Implementations are not required to provide constant behavior in time, notably this different invocation of this method may produce different results.
    Parameters:
    
    sourceIdentifier - source identifier
    
    Returns:
    
    future source representation, if supplied YANG module is available
