| Interface | Description |
|---|---|
| Closeable |
A
Closeable is a source or destination of data that can be closed. |
| DataInput |
The
DataInput interface provides for reading bytes from a binary stream and
reconstructing from them data in any of the Java primitive types. |
| DataOutput |
The
DataOutput interface provides for converting data from any of the Java primitive
types to a series of bytes and writing these bytes to a binary stream. |
| FileFilter |
A filter for abstract pathnames.
|
| FilenameFilter |
Instances of classes that implement this interface are used to filter filenames.
|
| Flushable |
A Flushable is a destination of data that can be flushed.
|
| Serializable |
This interface is only defined for hierarchy compatibility.
|
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
| ByteArrayInputStream |
A
ByteArrayInputStream contains an internal buffer that contains bytes that may be
read from the stream. |
| ByteArrayOutputStream |
This class implements an output stream in which the data is written into a byte array.
|
| DataInputStream |
A data input stream lets an application read primitive Java data types from an underlying input
stream in a machine-independent way.
|
| DataOutputStream |
A data output stream lets an application write primitive Java data types to an output stream in a
portable way.
|
| File |
An abstract representation of file and directory pathnames.
|
| FileInputStream |
A
FileInputStream obtains input bytes from a file in a file system. |
| FileOutputStream |
A file output stream is an output stream for writing data to a
File. |
| FilePermission |
This class represents access to a file or directory.
|
| FilterInputStream |
A
FilterInputStream contains some other input stream, which it uses as its basic
source of data, possibly transforming the data along the way or providing additional
functionality. |
| FilterOutputStream |
This class is the superclass of all classes that filter output streams.
|
| InputStream |
This abstract class is the superclass of all classes representing an input stream of bytes.
|
| InputStreamReader |
An InputStreamReader is a bridge from byte streams to character streams: It reads bytes and
decodes them into characters using a specified
charset. |
| OutputStream |
This abstract class is the superclass of all classes representing an output stream of bytes.
|
| OutputStreamWriter |
An OutputStreamWriter is a bridge from character streams to byte streams: Characters written to
it are encoded into bytes using a specified
charset. |
| PrintStream |
A
PrintStream adds functionality to another output stream, namely the ability to
print representations of various data values conveniently. |
| RandomAccessFile |
Instances of this class support both reading and writing to a random access file.
|
| Reader |
Abstract class for reading character streams.
|
| Writer |
Abstract class for writing to character streams.
|
| Exception | Description |
|---|---|
| EOFException |
Signals that an end of file or end of stream has been reached unexpectedly during input.
|
| FileNotFoundException |
Signals that an attempt to open the file denoted by a specified pathname has failed.
|
| InterruptedIOException |
Signals that an I/O operation has been interrupted.
|
| IOException |
Signals that an I/O exception of some sort has occurred.
|
| UnsupportedEncodingException |
The Character Encoding is not supported.
|
| UTFDataFormatException |
Signals that a malformed string in modified UTF-8
format has been read in a data input stream or by any class that implements the data input
interface.
