Project workflow

This page is dedicated to topics related to the project workflow within OpenSCD. A fundamental objective of OpenSCD is to exclusively store information in SCL files, striving to avoid the use of private elements whenever possible. To elaborate, the goal is to refrain from placing information in namespaces that are not defined by the standard. This approach aims to enhance interoperability in multi-vendor projects. It's important to note that avoiding private elements doesn't mean that OpenSCD removes them; currently, it simply disregards the private section.

Given that all information in OpenSCD is saved in SCL files rather than proprietary formats, a project is essentially synonymous with an SCL file.
