Defined in:
lib/alf/reader/rash.rb

Overview

Specialization of the Reader contract for .rash files.

A .rash file/stream contains one ruby hash literal on each line. This reader simply decodes each of them in turn with Kernel.eval, providing a state-less reader (that is, tuples are not all loaded in memory at once).
