java.lang.Object
- org.openscience.cdk.config.isotopes.IsotopeReader

```
public class IsotopeReader
extends Object
```
Reader that instantiates an XML parser and customized handler to process the isotope information in the CML2 isotope data file. The Reader first tries to instantiate a JAXP XML parser available from Sun JVM 1.4.0 and later. If not found it tries the Aelfred2 parser, and as last try the Xerces parser.
