ES2Data vs ES2Reader

[arcifus]

Is ES2Data (via ES2Data.LoadAll) faster than ES2Reader (via ES2Reader.Create) for reading individual tagged items?

What are the pros/cons of using one vs the other?

[Joel]

ES2Data will be faster for tagged items as it caches the tags in one pass, whereas ES2Reader reads directly from the stream.

In almost all cases I would recommend using ES2Data. It's easier to use, and much easier to debug.

All the best,
Joel
