3.2 Architectural approach
We’ll take some guidance from the C4 model ( https://c4model.com) when looking at our approach.
Context: For this project, a context diagram would show a user extracting data from a source. You may find it helpful to draw this diagram.
Containers: This project will run on the user’s personal computer. As with the context, the diagram is small, but some readers may find it helpful to take the time to draw it.
Components: We’ll address these below.
Code: We’ll touch on this to provide some suggested directions.
We can decompose the software architecture into these two important components:
model: This module has definitions of target objects. In this project, there’s only a single class here.extract: This module will read the source document and creates model objects.
Additionally, there will need to be these additional functions:
A function for parsing the command-line options.
A
main()function to parse options and do...
