Class RecordFactoryInputStream

java.lang.Object

org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordFactoryInputStream

public final class RecordFactoryInputStream
extends Object

A stream based way to get at complete records, with as low a memory footprint as possible. This handles reading from a RecordInputStream, turning the data into full records, processing continue records etc. Most users should use HSSFEventFactory / HSSFListener and have new records pushed to them, but this does allow for a "pull" style of coding.
