Technically not a loader, but an alias for the standard accessors (which always
return strings), you can use it if you prefer a 100% type-oriented value access
terminology in your code. Note that this is not even a noop function, but really
just a direct alias, so using it instead of e.g. field
does not incur any
performance drawback.
enoname: Alice
number: 13
ruby>>> document = parse(input)
>>> document.string('name')
'Alice'
>>> document.string('number')
'13'
# .... these are completely identical to ...
>>> document.field('name')
'Alice'
>>> document.field('number')
'13'
