# IObjectExportProvider

Namespace: Lithnet.Ecma2Framework

Defines the methods and properties that an object export provider must implement

```csharp
public interface IObjectExportProvider
```

## Methods

### **InitializeAsync(ExportContext)**

Initializes the object export provider. This method is called once at the start of an export operation

```csharp
Task InitializeAsync(ExportContext context)
```

#### Parameters

`context` [ExportContext](/ecma2-framework/advanced/index/lithnet.ecma2framework.exportcontext.md)\
The context of the operation

#### Returns

[Task](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.threading.tasks.task)\
A task that represents the asynchronous operation

### **CanExportAsync(CSEntryChange)**

Indicates whether the object export provider can export objects of the specified type

```csharp
Task<bool> CanExportAsync(CSEntryChange csentry)
```

#### Parameters

`csentry` CSEntryChange\
The CSEntryChange representing the object to be exported

#### Returns

[Task\<Boolean>](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.threading.tasks.task-1)\
if the provider can export the object, otherwise

### **PutCSEntryChangeAsync(CSEntryChange, CancellationToken)**

Exports the specified object

```csharp
Task<CSEntryChangeResult> PutCSEntryChangeAsync(CSEntryChange csentry, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
```

#### Parameters

`csentry` CSEntryChange\
The CSEntryChange representing the object to be exported

`cancellationToken` [CancellationToken](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.threading.cancellationtoken)\
A cancellation token

#### Returns

[Task\<CSEntryChangeResult>](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.threading.tasks.task-1)\
A task that represents the asynchronous operation

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.lithnet.io/ecma2-framework/advanced/index/lithnet.ecma2framework.iobjectexportprovider.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
