| Interface | Description |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| 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.
|
| 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 translates them into characters.
|
| 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 translated into bytes.
|
| PrintStream |
A
PrintStream adds functionality to another output stream,
namely the ability to print representations of various data values
conveniently. |
| 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.
|
| 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 UTF-8 string has been read in a data
input stream or by any class that implements the data input
interface.
