Method Detail

read

Model read(File input,
           Map<String,?> options)
           throws IOException,
                  ModelParseException
Reads the model from the specified file.

Parameters:
input - The file to deserialize the model from, must not be null.
options - The options to use for deserialization, may be null to use the default values.
Returns:
The deserialized model, never null.
Throws:
IOException - If the model could not be deserialized.
ModelParseException - If the input format could not be parsed.

read

Model read(Reader input,
           Map<String,?> options)
           throws IOException,
                  ModelParseException
Reads the model from the specified character reader. The reader will be automatically closed before the method returns.

Parameters:
input - The reader to deserialize the model from, must not be null.
options - The options to use for deserialization, may be null to use the default values.
Returns:
The deserialized model, never null.
Throws:
IOException - If the model could not be deserialized.
ModelParseException - If the input format could not be parsed.

read

Model read(InputStream input,
           Map<String,?> options)
           throws IOException,
                  ModelParseException
Reads the model from the specified byte stream. The stream will be automatically closed before the method returns.

Parameters:
input - The stream to deserialize the model from, must not be null.
options - The options to use for deserialization, may be null to use the default values.
Returns:
The deserialized model, never null.
Throws:
IOException - If the model could not be deserialized.
ModelParseException - If the input format could not be parsed.
