load()

virtual luciad::expected< DataEntity, ErrorInfo > luciad::IDataLoader::load ( const std::string & path, const CancellationToken & token )

pure virtual

Returns the data resource loaded from the given path.

The download process can be canceled by the means of the cancellation token. It is up to the implementer to verify that the cancellation token state is set to true during the operation. When set to true this indicates that a resource is no longer needed. The return value then can be an ErrorInfo object with the error code Canceled.

Parameters

path	Path to the resource.
token	Cancellation token. This is optional and can be a nulltpr.

Returns

the data resource as DataEntity, error information otherwise.
