+"""The Reader classes return high-level content structures from files.
+
+The Reader fulfills two purposes:
+    First, it brokers between multiple libraries and file formats.
+    Second, it separates multiple aspects of a file into distinct content types.
+
+Often, different libraries focus on reading different types of content from a
+file. E.g. one would use different modules to read file system infos than to
+read exif or pixel data of an image. Hence, this module is organized by content
+type. Each distinct type can be implemented in a file or submodule that
+provides a Reader implementation. Through utilization of submodules, different
+file formats can be supported.
+
+Part of the bsie module.
+A copy of the license is provided with the project.
