Package pulse.io.readers

The main class of this package is ReaderManager. Usually, the user doesn't even have to worry about choosing a specific reader, so explicit invocation of any methods in any one of the Readers is discouraged (this is a job for the ReaderManager. However, if it is necessary to create a new reader for a format that PULsE currently doesn't recognise, the programmer should extend one of the subclasses of the AbstractReader and place it into this package (otherwise, the ReaderManager won't know where the class is).

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
AbstractHandler	There are two types of AbstractHandlers, which are used to either update/populate existing objects or convert data into new objects of a given type.
AbstractPopulator<T>	An AbstractPopulator provides the ability to add extra content to an object by modifying its internal structure to make it compliant with an external file.
AbstractReader<T>	Basic interface for readers in PULsE.
CurveReader	Basic interface for reading ExperimentalData (which extends HeatingCurve -- hence the name).
DatasetReader	An AbstractReader for reading tabular datasets and enhancing them with an interpolation algorithm.
PulseDataReader	A reader for importing numeric pulse data -- if available.
