Parser

The MOOSE Parser object is responsible for interacting with the HIT input file parser. It is important to note that this object is not responsible for the raw file-base I/O. The underlying structure of the MOOSE input file is dictated by HIT and information on the format can be found here. The parser abstraction expects information to be organized into a hierarchy of blocks with zero or more children at each level. It performs as much error checking as early as possible before building any MOOSE objects.
