Interface VCFIterator

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable, Closeable, CloseableIterator<VariantContext>, Iterator<VariantContext>
public interface VCFIterator extends CloseableIterator<VariantContext>
An iterator of `VariantContext`. This iterator can be used to decode VCF data on the fly . Example: 
 VCFIterator r = new VCFIteratorBuilder().open(System.in);
 while (r.hasNext()) {
     System.out.println(r.next());
 }
 r.close();
