Overview

This module is part of a private API. You should avoid using this module if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

An InstanceReader is responsible for reading an instance of a complex object using a deserializer. The read involves creating the instance, register it with the deserializer (so that self references can be resolved) and then read the instance data (which normally amounts to all attribute values). Instance readers are registered with of Types::PObjectTypes to aid the type when reading instances.
