## Interface InputStreamSupport

- All Known Implementing Classes:
    JSONConfiguration, XMLConfiguration, YAMLConfiguration

      public interface InputStreamSupport

  Definition of an interface to be implemented by objects which support reading from an input stream.

  When reading data using a `FileHandler` per default a reader is used as defined by the `FileBased.read(java.io.Reader)` method. For some configuration formats it is necessary to directly read binary data. In order to achieve this, a `FileBased` object can also implement this interface. It defines an additional `read()` method expecting an `InputStream` as argument. If the `FileHandler` detects that its associated `FileBased` object implements this interface, it passes the input stream directly rather than transforming it to a reader.
