This matrix summarizes how each area of the native .archimate format is
handled. “Parsed” means represented in ArchiModel; “Preserved verbatim”
means carried through without transformation; “Checked” means
validateArchiModel reports violations.
| Area | Status |
|---|
Model root (metadata, purpose, properties) | Parsed |
| Folder tree | Parsed with parentId/containedIds |
| Elements, any type | Parsed generically, xsiType preserved verbatim |
| Relationships, any type | Parsed generically, xsiType preserved verbatim |
Views (ArchiView) | Parsed with precomputed containment indexes |
| Notes | Parsed |
| Model element / model references | Parsed (DiagramModelReference.referencedModelId) |
| Sketch/Canvas models | Preserved verbatim where encountered |
| Duplicate/missing ids | Checked (missing-id, duplicate-id) |
| Dangling relationship endpoints | Checked (broken-relationship-source/target) |
| Dangling visual references | Checked (object/connection referents) |
| Area | Status |
|---|
Junction AND/OR (type attr) | Parsed + checked (unrecognized-junction-type) |
Access accessType (0–3) | Decoded to ArchiAccessType, native default 'Write' |
Influence strength (free text) | Parsed verbatim |
Association directed | Decoded to boolean, native default false |
| Profiles / Specializations | Parsed (id, name, imagePath, features) |
| Label Expressions | Read + resolved (core placeholders); reference-prefix forms left verbatim |
xsiType namespace stripping | Applied; raw value always preserved |
| Area | Status |
|---|
ArchiStyle (line/fill/font) | Parsed, fields independent and null-safe |
ArchiBounds | Parsed; nested coordinates are parent-relative |
| Bendpoints | Parsed with native start/end pairs |
| Geometry completeness | Not checked (nulls are meaningful) |
| Area | Status |
|---|
Plain-XML .archimate | Supported |
Zip .archimate (model.xml + images/) | Supported (Node-only subpath) |
| Stored/Deflate compression | Supported; anything else throws |
| CRC-32 integrity | Verified |
| Embedded image extraction | Not provided (pointers exposed, e.g. imagePath) |
| Area | Status |
|---|
| ArchiMate Model Exchange File Format | Not parsed, not generated |
Mutation / serialization back to .archimate | Not provided |
| Rendering, layout, routing | Not provided |
| Quality/lint rules | Not provided |
| Browser zip-handling | Not provided (root entrypoint stays bundler-safe) |
The columns are deliberately exact: a field that is “preserved verbatim” is
a field this package promises never to reinterpret, and a boundary listed
above is a boundary the package promises never to silently cross.
