public class ReaderFactory
extends java.lang.Object

Deprecated.
This class has been deprecated. When reading XML, users are encouraged to pass the InputStream directory to the MXParser.setInput(InputStream, String), giving a null encoding to let the parser figure it out. For non xml usages, use the JDK Files utility methods.

Utility to create Readers from streams, with explicit encoding choice: platform default, XML, or specified.
