public interface CySessionReaderManager

An object that registers all InputStreamReaderFactory singletons, processes specified input to determine the appropriate factory to use and then returns an instance of the correct CySessionReader for the input.

Cytoscape Backwards Compatibility (API Interface): We expect that this interface will be used but not implemented by developers using this interface. As such, we reserve the right to add methods to the interface as part of minor version upgrades. We will not remove methods for any changes other than major version upgrades.

Method Summary

CySessionReader	getReader(InputStream stream, String inputName) Given an InputStream this method will attempt to find a InputStreamReaderFactory that can read the stream, will set the InputStream for the factory and will return the reader.
CySessionReader	getReader(URI uri, String inputName) Given a URI this method will attempt to find a InputStreamReaderFactory that can read the URI, will set the InputStream for the factory and will return the reader.
