The Free Pascal streaming mechanism, while compatible with Delphi's mechanism, differs from it in the sense that the streaming mechanism uses a driver class when streaming components. The TAbstractObjectReader class is the base driver class for reading property values from streams. It consists entirely of abstract methods, which must be implemented by descendent classes.
Different streaming mechanisms can be implemented by making a descendent from TAbstractObjectReader. The TBinaryObjectReader class is such a descendent class, which streams data in binary (Delphi compatible) format.
All methods described in this class, mustbe implemented by descendent classes.
