/**
 * \class TTreeReaderValue
 * \ingroup treeplayer
 * \brief An interface for reading values stored in ROOT columnar datasets
 *
 * The TTreeReaderValue is a type-safe tool to be used in association with a TTreeReader
 * to access the values stored in TTree, TNtuple and TChain datasets.
 * TTreeReaderValue can be also used to access collections such as `std::vector`s or TClonesArray
 * stored in columnar datasets but it is recommended to use TTreeReaderArray instead as it offers
 * several advantages.
 *
 * See the documentation of TTreeReader for more details and examples.
