public class CifBuilder
extends Object
```
Allows the creation of CifFile instances which were not read from some InputStream. The builder follows a stepwise approach (i.e. the builder does not always return itself, but rather several subclasses provide builder-functions relevant in a specific context). The implementation represents the hierarchy of a CifFile (file - block - category - column - data) by a D3-like approach: enter is used to move to a more fine-grained level of information (e.g. file to block), while leave does the opposite. By following this approach, all elements are aware of their parent and all parents can process information from their children appropriately. It is also possible to create builder instances for categories or columns directly, however they need to be added explicitly by functions like CategoryBuilder.addColumn(Column). As for many parts of this library, absolutely no checks are performed - e.g. the number of rows in columns connected by a category can be different which will cause all sorts of issues. However, it is up to the user to ensure data integrity.
