Project description
Marlin is a C++ software framework for ILC software.
It uses the LCIO data model and can be used for all tasks that involve processing of LCIO files, e.g. reconstruction and analysis.

The idea is that every computing task is implemented as a processor (module) that analyzes data in an LCEvent and creates additional output collections that are added to the event.
The framework allows to define the processors (and their order) that are executed at runtime in a
simple steering file. Via the steering file you can also define named parameters (string, float, int - single and arrays) for every processor as well as for the global scope.
By using the framework users don't have to write any code that deals with the IO they simply
write processors with defined callbacks, i.e. init(), processRunHeader(), processEvent(), end().
