=head1 NAME

Bio::DB::SoapEUtilities::FetchAdaptor - Conversion of Entrez SOAP messages to BioPerl objects

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 $fac = Bio::DB::SoapEUtilities->new();
 $soap_result = $fac->efetch( -db => 'protein', -id => 2597988 );
 $adp = Bio::DB::SoapEUtilities::FetchAdaptor(
         -result => $soap_result,
         -type => 'seq'
        );
 while ( $gb_seq = $adp->next_obj ) {
    # do stuff
 }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<FetchAdaptor> is the base class of a system, modeled after
L<Bio::SeqIO>, to parse SOAP responses from the NCBI Entrez C<efetch>
utility into germane BioPerl objects.

The user will rarely need to instantiate a C<FetchAdaptor> with
L<Bio::DB::SoapEUtilities::Result> object as in the L</SYNOPSIS>. It
usually suffices to use the C<-auto_adapt> parameter in the factory
C<run()> method:

 my $fac = Bio::DB::SoapEUtilities->new();
 my $taxio = $fac->efetch(-db => 'taxonomy', -id => 1394)->run(-auto_adapt=>1);
 my $sp = $taxio->next_species; # Bio::Species objects
 my $seqio = $fac->efetch(-db => 'protein', -id => 730439)->run(-auto_adapt=>1);
 my $seq = $seqio->next_seq; # Bio::Seq::RichSeq objects

=head1 FEEDBACK

=head2 Mailing Lists

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to
the Bioperl mailing list.  Your participation is much appreciated.

=head2 Support

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

L<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and
reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly
address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem
with code and data examples if at all possible.

=head2 Reporting Bugs

Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track
of the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via
the web:
