For some use cases, you do not need to load data on the map. You just need to decode certain data into an ILcdModel. For example, you simply want to analyze a model to find the highest point.

Because all model decoders are registered with the Lucy back-end, you can use them to decode your data set. The easiest way to loop over all the registered decoders and select the appropriate one, is using a TLcyCompositeModelDecoder instance:

Program: Decoding a data set using the model decoders available on the Lucy back-end
String path = "/path/to/file/to/decode";
ILcyLucyEnv lucy = ...

TLcyCompositeModelDecoder decoder = new TLcyCompositeModelDecoder(lucy);
if(decoder.canDecode(path)){
  ILcdModel model = decoder.decode(path);
}
