## A.6 startable.readers

The `startable.readers` property provides additional input handlers which `StarTableFactory` can use for loading tables in named format mode. Its value is a colon-separated list of class names, where each element of the list must be the name of a class on the classpath which implements the `TableBuilder` interface and has a no-arg constructor. When a new `StarTableFactory` is constructed, an instance of each such named class is created and added to its known handler list. Users of the library can therefore read tables in the format that the new handler understands by giving its format name when doing the load.
