Introduction into Importing and Exporting Topic MapsΒΆ

tinyTiM provides no import / export mechanisms by default, but relies on TMAPIX I/O for importing and exporting topic maps.

Note

TMAPIX I/O is not part of the default Topic Maps engine and must be downloaded separately. The individual TopicMapReader implementations may introduce additional dependencies. At minimum the mio-syntaxpack lib and SLF4J is needed in the classpath.
