Class ReaderFactory
java.lang.Object
org.openscience.cdk.io.ReaderFactory
A factory for creating ChemObjectReaders. The type of reader
created is determined from the content of the input. Formats
of GZiped files can be detected too.
A typical example is:
StringReader stringReader = "<molecule/>";
ChemObjectReader reader = new ReaderFactory().createReader(stringReader);

createReader
Detects the format of the Reader input, and if known, it will return a CDK Reader to read the format, or null when the reader is not implemented.- Returns:
- null if CDK does not contain a reader for the detected format.
- Throws:
IOException

createReader
Detects the format of the Reader input, and if known, it will return a CDK Reader to read the format. This method is not able to detect the format of gziped files. Use createReader(InputStream) instead for such files.- Throws:
