A set of utility classes to manage loaders.
The Loader interface is a generic interface for loading objects from
input streams. The Loaders class may be used to discover implementations
of this interface that provide a certain data type.
The FileLoader interface is an interface that combines multiple
Loader instances, and picks one of them to load an object from a
file, based on the file extension.
The Loader implementations are internally discovered using a
ServiceLoader. In order to add a Loader implementation to
a project, the file
META-INF\services\de.javagl.loaders.Loader
has to be added to the project. This file contains the fully qualified
names of the classes that implement the Loader interface. For example:
de.example.PngAsBufferedImageLoader
de.example.JpgAsBufferedImageLoader
