- Method Detail
  - save
```
void save(Factory f,
          OutputStream out)
   throws IOException
```
    Saves a factory (and all its associated Java program elements). Stream is GZIP compressed by default, see Environment.setCompressionType(spoon.support.CompressionType)
    
    Parameters:
    
    f - the factory to be save
    
    out - the used output stream
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if some IO error occurs
  - load
```
Factory load(InputStream in)
      throws IOException
```
    Loads a factory (and all its associated Java program elements). Tries to decompress the file given the available CompressionType
    
    Parameters:
    
    in - the used input stream
    
    Returns:
    
    the loaded factory
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if some IO error occurs
