Innlesing

Innlesing is a Norwegian term that translates to "reading in" or "input reading" and is commonly used in the context of computer programming and data processing. It refers to the process of retrieving data from an external source and loading it into a program or system for further manipulation or analysis. This external source can be a file, a database, a network stream, or any other data repository.

The purpose of innlesing is to make data accessible to a software application. Once data is "read in," it can be stored in variables, processed, transformed, or used to drive the application's functionality. For example, a financial application might perform innlesing to load stock market data, a web server might perform innlesing to retrieve user requests, and a data analysis tool might perform innlesing to load a dataset for statistical examination.

The implementation of innlesing varies greatly depending on the data format and the programming language used. Common tasks associated with innlesing include parsing data according to specific formats (like CSV, JSON, or XML), handling potential errors during the reading process (such as missing files or corrupted data), and ensuring data integrity. Efficient innlesing is crucial for performance, especially when dealing with large volumes of data, as it can significantly impact the overall speed and responsiveness of a software system.
