/*
Package baker provides types and functions to build a pipeline for the processing of structured data.

Structured data is represented by the Record interface. LogLine implements that interface and
represents a csv record.

Using the functions in the package one can build and run a Topology, reading its configuration
from a TOML file.

The package doesn't include any component. They can be found in their respective packages
(baker/input, baker/filter, baker/output and baker/upload).

The README file in the project repository provides additional information and examples:
https://github.com/AdRoll/baker/blob/main/README.md
