Package java.io

Interface Summary

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.
Flushable	A Flushable is a destination of data that can be flushed.
Serializable	Serializability of a class is enabled by the class implementing the java.io.Serializable interface.

Class Summary

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.
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.
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.
PushbackInputStream	A PushbackInputStream adds functionality to another input stream, namely the ability to "push back" or "unread" one byte.
Reader	Abstract class for reading character streams.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
EOFException	Signals that an end of file or end of stream has been reached unexpectedly during input.
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.
