Remarks

The types in this package are spelled PlainText* rather than Text* on purpose: TextReader and TextWriter are System.IO types that every file in a .NET codebase has in scope, and a format reader that shadows them would make using System.IO; a source of ambiguity errors in any file that also used this package.

Fields

FormatName

The stable format identifier used by the registry and by format detection.

Properties

Descriptor

Gets the descriptor. Reader and writer share one instance so a registry lookup by extension and a lookup by name cannot disagree about which extensions text owns.
