IO library for reading and writing XVIZ messages
This module aims at being the central IO library for reading, writing, and manipulating XVIZ data.
This module is separated in the following layers.
XVIZ data classes strive to remove the need to understand and
handle the various formats that XVIZ data can be stored.
Sources and Sinks are a simple abstraction to
write and read data. We provide synchronous File and Memory implementations.
Readers and
Writers are the objects that deal with writing out the
actual XVIZ data. At this level the objects know about any implementation details that are not
covered by the XVIZ specification, such as the use of an index file or the specific identifiers used
to store XVIZ in a particular format.
XVIZ Providers are a level above Readers and Writers
where a Provider interface only deals with metadata and messages and providing access to that data.
