def read_atomic_vector(path: str, metadata: dict, atomic_vector_use_numeric_1darray: bool = False, **kwargs) -> Union[StringList, IntegerList, FloatList, BooleanList, numpy.ndarray]:
    """
    Read an atomic vector from its on-disk representation. In general, this
    function should not be called directly but instead via
    :py:meth:`~dolomite_base.read_object.read_object`.

    Args:
        path: 
            Path to the directory containing the object.

        metadata: 
            Metadata for the object.

        atomic_vector_use_numeric_1darray: 
            Whether numeric vectors should be represented as 1-dimensional
            NumPy arrays. This is more memory-efficient than regular Python
            lists but discards the distinction between vectors and 1-D arrays.
            We set this to ``False`` by default to ensure that we can load
            names via :py:class:`~biocutils.NamedList.NamedList` subclasses.

        kwargs: 
            Further arguments, passed to nested objects.

    Returns:
        An atomic vector, represented as a
        :py:class:`~biocutils.StringList.StringList`,
        :py:class:`~biocutils.IntegerList.IntegerList`,
        :py:class:`~biocutils.FloatList.FloatList`,
        :py:class:`~biocutils.BooleanList.BooleanList`.
