<h2>Reader<a class="headerlink" href="#reader" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>At training and testing time, PaddlePaddle programs need to read data. To ease
the users&#8217; work to write data reading code, we define that</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>A <em>reader</em> is a function that reads data (from file, network, random number
generator, etc) and yields data items.</li>
<li>A <em>reader creator</em> is a function that returns a reader function.</li>
<li>A <em>reader decorator</em> is a function, which accepts one or more readers, and
returns a reader.</li>
<li>A <em>batch reader</em> is a function that reads data (from <em>reader</em>, file, network,
random number generator, etc) and yields a batch of data items.</li>

<p>Indeed, <em>data reader</em> doesn&#8217;t have to be a function that reads and yields data
items. It can be any function with no parameter that creates a iterable

<p>Element produced from the iterable should be a <strong>single</strong> entry of data,
<strong>not</strong> a mini batch. That entry of data could be a single item, or a tuple of
items.
