<p><span style="font-family:"Courier New";color:black;background:white">Also, we would have to provide parsers to fill in self.geometry.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Courier New";color:black;background:white">Or test for self.geometry in the JSON and XML methods, or add a constructor.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Courier New";color:black;background:white">This is mainly for loading the -geometry field.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Courier New";color:black;background:white">It could be handled in the Shape class, with eval() figuring out which geometry constructor to call. That is okay with me!</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Courier New";color:black;background:white">Obviously, eval is a tiny bit dangerous, even if only resolving a class. I recommend creating a regexp that matches all node and statement names.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Courier New";color:black;background:white">I'm going to proceed with eval in the Shape class for now.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
