export_model_content
Idempotent
Serialize the active ArchiMate model as an XML string. Supports ArchiMate exchange XML, Archi native format, and plain XML with optional auto-layout.
Instructions
Serialize the active model as XML string content.
Use this when the caller wants the XML in the response payload. Use
`export_model_to_file` to write directly to disk.
Args:
output_format: One of `archimate` (default, Open Group exchange
XML), `archi` (Archi native `.archimate` XML, opens directly
in Archi), or `xml`.
auto_layout: When true, run layout on every view before
serialization. Defaults to false.
layout_strategy: Layout strategy used when `auto_layout=true`.
One of `layered_by_type` (default, ArchiMate semantic
lanes), `layered` (relationship-direction layered), or
`grid`.
layout_engine: Layout engine applied to every view when
`auto_layout=true`. One of `internal` (default) or
`pyarchimate` (see `auto_layout_view` for what the latter
gives up). Per-call only: nothing about the engine is
written into the exported file. Validated even when
`auto_layout=false`, so a typo is never swallowed.
Returns:
Success envelope with `data.content` (XML string),
`data.auto_layout`, and (when `auto_layout=true`)
`data.layout_strategy` and `data.layout_engine`.
Errors:
`ModelNotFoundError` if no model is active.
`UnsupportedFormatError` for an unknown `output_format`.
`ModelOperationError` for layout or serialization failures,
including an unknown strategy/engine (with
`error.details.suggestions`) and a view the `pyarchimate`
engine cannot lay out safely — one such view fails the
whole export.
