/**
 * Class: mxObjectCodec
 *
 * Generic codec for JavaScript objects that implements a mapping between
 * JavaScript objects and XML nodes that maps each field or element to an
 * attribute or child node, and vice versa.
 * 
 * Atomic Values:
 * 
 * Consider the following example.
 * 
 * (code)
 * var obj = new Object();
 * obj.foo = "Foo";
 * obj.bar = "Bar";
 * (end)
 * 
 * This object is encoded into an XML node using the following.
 * 
 * (code)
 * var enc = new mxCodec();
 * var node = enc.encode(obj);
 * (end)
 * 
 * The output of the encoding may be viewed using <mxLog> as follows.
 * 
 * (code)
 * mxLog.show();
 * mxLog.debug(mxUtils.getPrettyXml(node));
 * (end)
 * 
 * Finally, the result of the encoding looks as follows.
 * 
 * (code)
 * <Object foo="Foo" bar="Bar"/>
 * (end)
 * 
 * In the above output, the foo and bar fields have been mapped to attributes
 * with the same names, and the name of the constructor was used for the
 * nodename.
 * 
 * Booleans:
 *
 * Since booleans are numbers in JavaScript, all boolean values are encoded
 * into 1 for true and 0 for false. The decoder also accepts the string true
 * and false for boolean values.
 * 
 * Objects:
 * 
 * The above scheme is applied to all atomic fields, that is, to all non-object
 * fields of an object. For object fields, a child node is created with a
 * special attribute that contains the fieldname. This special attribute is
 * called "as" and hence, as is a reserved word that should not be used for a
 * fieldname.
 * 
 * Consider the following example where foo is an object and bar is an atomic
 * property of foo.
 * 
 * (code)
 * var obj = {foo: {bar: "Bar"}};
 * (end)
 * 
 * This will be mapped to the following XML structure by mxObjectCodec.
 * 
 * (code)
 * <Object>
 *   <Object bar="Bar" as="foo"/>
 * </Object>
 * (end)
 * 
 * In the above output, the inner Object node contains the as-attribute that
 * specifies the fieldname in the enclosing object. That is, the field foo was
 * mapped to a child node with an as-attribute that has the value foo.
 * 
 * Arrays:
 * 
 * Arrays are special objects that are either associative, in which case each
 * key, value pair is treated like a field where the key is the fieldname, or
 * they are a sequence of atomic values and objects, which is mapped to a
 * sequence of child nodes. For object elements, the above scheme is applied
 * without the use of the special as-attribute for creating each child. For
 * atomic elements, a special add-node is created with the value stored in the
 * value-attribute.
 * 
 * For example, the following array contains one atomic value and one object
 * with a field called bar. Furthermore it contains two associative entries
 * called bar with an atomic value, and foo with an object value.
 * 
 * (code)
 * var obj = ["Bar", {bar: "Bar"}];
 * obj["bar"] = "Bar";
 * obj["foo"] = {bar: "Bar"};
 * (end)
 * 
 * This array is represented by the following XML nodes.
 * 
 * (code)
 * <Array bar="Bar">
 *   <add value="Bar"/>
 *   <Object bar="Bar"/>
 *   <Object bar="Bar" as="foo"/>
 * </Array>
 * (end)
 * 
 * The Array node name is the name of the constructor. The additional
 * as-attribute in the last child contains the key of the associative entry,
 * whereas the second last child is part of the array sequence and does not
 * have an as-attribute.
 * 
 * References:
 * 
 * Objects may be represented as child nodes or attributes with ID values,
 * which are used to lookup the object in a table within <mxCodec>. The
 * <isReference> function is in charge of deciding if a specific field should
 * be encoded as a reference or not. Its default implementation returns true if
 * the fieldname is in <idrefs>, an array of strings that is used to configure
 * the <mxObjectCodec>.
 * 
 * Using this approach, the mapping does not guarantee that the referenced
 * object itself exists in the document. The fields that are encoded as
 * references must be carefully chosen to make sure all referenced objects
 * exist in the document, or may be resolved by some other means if necessary.
 * 
 * For example, in the case of the graph model all cells are stored in a tree
 * whose root is referenced by the model's root field. A tree is a structure
 * that is well suited for an XML representation, however, the additional edges
 * in the graph model have a reference to a source and target cell, which are
 * also contained in the tree. To handle this case, the source and target cell
 * of an edge are treated as references, whereas the children are treated as
 * objects. Since all cells are contained in the tree and no edge references a
 * source or target outside the tree, this setup makes sure all referenced
 * objects are contained in the document.
 * 
 * In the case of a tree structure we must further avoid infinite recursion by
 * ignoring the parent reference of each child. This is done by returning true
 * in <isExcluded>, whose default implementation uses the array of excluded
 * fieldnames passed to the mxObjectCodec constructor.
 * 
 * References are only used for cells in mxGraph. For defining other
 * referencable object types, the codec must be able to work out the ID of an
 * object. This is done by implementing <mxCodec.reference>. For decoding a
 * reference, the XML node with the respective id-attribute is fetched from the
 * document, decoded, and stored in a lookup table for later reference. For
 * looking up external objects, <mxCodec.lookup> may be implemented.
 * 
 * Expressions:
 * 
 * For decoding JavaScript expressions, the add-node may be used with a text
 * content that contains the JavaScript expression. For example, the following
 * creates a field called foo in the enclosing object and assigns it the value
 * of <mxConstants.ALIGN_LEFT>.
 * 
 * (code)
 * <Object>
 *   <add as="foo">mxConstants.ALIGN_LEFT</add>
 * </Object>
 * (end)
 * 
 * The resulting object has a field called foo with the value "left". Its XML
 * representation looks as follows.
 * 
 * (code)
 * <Object foo="left"/>
 * (end)
 * 
 * This means the expression is evaluated at decoding time and the result of
 * the evaluation is stored in the respective field. Valid expressions are all
 * JavaScript expressions, including function definitions, which are mapped to
 * functions on the resulting object.
 * 
 * Expressions are only evaluated if <allowEval> is true.
 * 
 * Constructor: mxObjectCodec
 *
 * Constructs a new codec for the specified template object.
 * The variables in the optional exclude array are ignored by
 * the codec. Variables in the optional idrefs array are
 * turned into references in the XML. The optional mapping
 * may be used to map from variable names to XML attributes.
 * The argument is created as follows:
 *
 * (code)
 * var mapping = new Object();
 * mapping['variableName'] = 'attribute-name';
 * (end)
 *
 * Parameters:
 *
 * template - Prototypical instance of the object to be
 * encoded/decoded.
 * exclude - Optional array of fieldnames to be ignored.
 * idrefs - Optional array of fieldnames to be converted to/from
 * references.
 * mapping - Optional mapping from field- to attributenames.
