# apiImpl

The <apiImpl> element describes the classifier implementation for specific forms, including class, data type, interface, component, and other API items.

#### Description

The <apiImpl> element can contain code fragments or other source code for generating the supporting code for the interface (especially for functions and methods). The processing expectation is that the <apiImpl> element is hidden from the audience the implementation should not be exposed to.

#### Example

The following example shows a simple <apiImpl> element for a VisualBasic property:

    <apiValue>
           <apiValueDetail>
               <apiValueDef>
                  <apiDefNote>
                       Returns the IRXEModel object to which the element belongs.
                  </apiDefNote>
               </apiValueDef>
           </apiValueDetail>
           <apiImpl>Statement</apiImpl>
       </apiValue>
