This function can be used to grab the input data at the beginning of a computation. If your input is JSON and you need to work with an object input, you can use js.evalJson.

Examples

var input = js.input.read("initialParameters");
if(input == null)
    return -1;     //No input found with the given name

initialParameters is an input name contained in the work source. For example in a BOINC project it is the logical name for the input data given in the workunit template.
