### Streaming NBT files (e.g. Schematics)
With FAWE you can stream a schematic, or any NBT stream without having to store the whole thing into memory.
- You have to do this if a file is too large to fit in memory
- Or if you just want to obtain some information from the stream
```Java
// Let's stream some info from a schematic file without having to load the whole thing into memory
// Schematics are compressed, so we need to use a GZIPInputStream before the NBTInputStream
File file = new File("blah.schematic");
NBTInputStream is = new NBTInputStream(new GZIPInputStream(new FileInputStream(file)));
NBTStreamer streamer = new NBTStreamer(is);
// Get the height,width,length
final Map<String, Short> dimensions = new HashMap<>();
// You need to know the structure of the NBT file, these specific values are all shorts
streamer.addReader(new NBTStreamer.NBTStreamReader<Integer, Short>() {
@Override
public void run(Integer index, Short value) {
// The index is unimportant for this, but for Lists, or Arrays it might be useful
dimensions.put(getNode(), value); // Put e.g. Schematic.Width -> 53
}
}, "Schematic.Width", "Schematic.Height", "Schematic.Length");
// Let's get the Entities, I know that they will be of type CompoundTag
streamer.addReader("Schematic.Entities.#", new NBTStreamer.NBTStreamReader<Integer, CompoundTag>() {
@Override
public void run(Integer index, CompoundTag entity) {
// For the .# and normal readers, it will always be Index, Value
// Here we can do something with each entitiy
}
});
// Get some info about the Blocks section (which contains the ids) (there's also AddBlocks, and Data)
streamer.addReader("Schematic.Blocks.?", new NBTStreamer.NBTStreamReader<Integer, Integer>() {
@Override
public void run(Integer length, Integer type) {
Class<? extends Tag> clazz = NBTConstants.getClassFromType(type);
// Here we can do something knowing the length of the section and its type
}
});
// Now that we have the readers we want, we can read through the file
streamer.readFully();
System.out.println("Dimensions are: " + dimensions);
```
