ParserFactory (beanio 3.2.0 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

CsvParserFactory, DelimitedParserFactory, FixedLengthParserFactory, FlatParserFactory, JsonParserFactory, ParserFactorySupport, XmlParserFactory
```
public interface ParserFactory
```
A ParserFactory is used to convert a stream configuration (i.e. StreamConfig) into a stream parser (i.e. Stream).
A new parser factory is used to parse each stream configuration, thus implementations need not worry about thread safety.
All properties (e.g. classLoader) are set before createStream(StreamConfig) is invoked.

Since:

2.0
