Description

It would be interesting to create a simple tool that reads a ROOT file and generates a RML file. So that if I find a given number of processes at the ROOT file, I place them at the RML and I could process the file exactly as it was processed. Then, of course, I would be able to modify that RML to play with the processing of the data.

Research direction

The issue proposes a new C++ tool that reads a ROOT file and generates an editable RML file representing its processing. Start by reviewing the framework's core classes and how processing chains and RML are represented. Done means the scope and representation are defined well enough to reproduce and modify a ROOT file's processing through generated RML.
