Class SBMLReader

java.lang.Object

org.sbml.jsbml.SBMLReader

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

public class SBMLReader
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable

Provides methods for reading SBML from files, text strings or streams.

This SBMLReader is just a wrapper for the actual implementation in SBMLReader.

This class is provided for compatibility with libSBML and to avoid problems if the internal of jsbml change, so it is preferable to use it instead of directly using SBMLReader.

The SBMLReader class provides the main interface for reading SBML content from files and strings. The methods for reading SBML all return an SBMLDocument object representing the results.

In the case of failures (such as if the SBML contains errors), the errors will be recorded with the SBMLErrorLog object kept in the SBMLDocument returned by SBMLReader. Consequently, immediately after calling a method on SBMLReader, callers should always check for errors and warnings using the methods for this purpose provided by SBMLDocument.

reader

private static final SBMLReader reader

The singleton actual reader. This should speed up loading required classes, because the initialization is done only once if using the static read methods.
