=head1 DESCRIPTION

A Catmandu::Importer is a Perl package that can import data from an external
source (a file, the network, ...). Most importers read from an input stream, 
such as STDIN, a given file, or an URL to fetch data from, so this base class
provides helper method for consuming the input stream once.

Every Catmandu::Importer is a L<Catmandu::Fixable> and thus inherits a 'fix'
parameter that can be set in the constructor. When given then each item returned
by the generator will be automatically Fixed using one or more L<Catmandu::Fix>es.
E.g.
    
    my $importer = Catmandu->importer('Hello',fix => ['upcase(hello)']);
    $importer->each( sub {
        my $item = shift ; # Every item will be upcased... 
    } );

Every Catmandu::Importer is a L<Catmandu::Iterable> and inherits the methods (C<first>,
C<each>, C<to_array>...) etc.

=head1 CONFIGURATION

=over

=item file

Read input from a local file given by its path. Alternatively a scalar
reference can be passed to read from a string.

=item fh

Read input from an L<IO::Handle>. If not specified, L<Catmandu::Util::io> is used to
create the input stream from the C<file> argument or by using STDIN.

=item encoding

Binmode of the input stream C<fh>. Set to C<:utf8> by default.

=item fix

An ARRAY of one or more fixes or file scripts to be applied to imported items.

=back

=head1 METHODS

=head2 readline

Read a line from the input stream. Equivalent to C<< $importer->fh->getline >>.

=head2 readall

Read the whole input stream as string.

=head2 first, each, rest , ...

See L<Catmandu::Iterable> for all inherited methods.
