ResourceProcessor (Drools :: Compiler 8.40.0.Final API)

Type Parameters:

C - The type of the processed resource.

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractResourceProcessor
```
public interface ResourceProcessor<C extends org.kie.api.internal.assembler.ProcessedResource>
```
For a given resource, it implements a mechanism to transform such resource in a ProcessedResource. This is the interface of some "compiler" of sort, that translate a Resource into an "executable" representation of some kind, suitable for execution by some existing runtime. In most cases, implementors are expected to just extend AbstractResourceProcessor
