public interface IIteratingChemObjectReader<T extends IChemObject>
extends IChemObjectReader, Iterator<T>

Interface for an iterating molecule reader. It allows to iterate over all molecules in specific file format (e.g. SDF), without reading them into memory first. Suitable for very large files, with thousands of molecules.
