Class MarcStreamReader

java.lang.Object

org.marc4j.MarcStreamReader

All Implemented Interfaces:

MarcReader

public class MarcStreamReader
extends Object
implements MarcReader

An iterator over a collection of MARC records in ISO 2709 format.

Example usage:

 InputStream input = new FileInputStream("file.mrc");
 MarcReader reader = new MarcStreamReader(input);
 while (reader.hasNext()) {
     Record record = reader.next();
     // Process record
 }
 

Check the org.marc4j.marc package for examples about the use of the Record object model.

When no encoding is given as an constructor argument the parser tries to resolve the encoding by looking at the character coding scheme (leader position 9) in MARC21 records. For UNIMARC records this position is not defined.
