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 |
---|---|
BufferedInputStream |
A
BufferedInputStream adds functionality to another input stream-namely, the ability to buffer the input
and to support the mark and reset methods. |
BufferedOutputStream |
The class implements a buffered output stream.
|
BufferedReader |
Reads text from a character-input stream, buffering characters so as to provide for the efficient reading of
characters, arrays, and lines.
|
BufferedWriter |
Writes text to a character-output stream, buffering characters so as to provide for the efficient writing of single
characters, arrays, and strings.
|
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.
|
CharArrayReader |
This class implements a character buffer that can be used as a character-input stream.
|
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 . |
PipedInputStream |
A piped input stream should be connected to a piped output stream; the piped input stream then provides whatever data
bytes are written to the piped output stream.
|
PipedOutputStream |
A piped output stream can be connected to a piped input stream to create a communications pipe.
|
PipedReader |
Piped character-input streams.
|
PipedWriter |
Piped character-output streams.
|
PrintStream |
A
PrintStream adds functionality to another output stream, namely the ability to
print representations of various data values conveniently. |
PrintWriter |
Prints formatted representations of objects to a text-output stream.
|
PushbackInputStream |
A
PushbackInputStream adds functionality to another input stream, namely the ability to "push back" or
"unread" one byte. |
RandomAccessFile |
Instances of this class support both reading and writing to a random access file.
|
Reader |
Abstract class for reading character streams.
|
SequenceInputStream |
A
SequenceInputStream represents the logical concatenation of other input streams. |
StringReader |
A character stream whose source is a string.
|
StringWriter |
A character stream that collects its output in a string buffer, which can then be used to construct a string.
|
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.
