Java I/O: Exploring java.io Classes

The document discusses input/output in Java using streams, which provide a common abstraction for accessing external data regardless of the underlying physical device. It lists the key classes in the java.io package for performing input and output operations on streams linked to devices like network connections, memory buffers, and disk files. The interfaces defined in java.io include Closeable, DataInput, DataOutput, and Serializable for working with streams in a standardized way across different input/output sources and destinations.

INPUT/OUTPUT:
4.2 Exploring [Link]

Programs cannot accomplish their goals without accessing external data. Data is retrieved
from an input source. The results of a program are sent to an output destination. In Java, these
sources or destinations are defined very broadly.

For example, a network connection, memory buffer, or disk file can be manipulated by the
Java I/O classes.

Although physically different, these devices are all handled by the same abstraction: the
stream.

A stream is a logical entity that either produces or consumes information. A stream is linked
to a physical device by the Java I/O system. All streams behave in the same manner, even if
the actual physical devices they are linked to differ.
The I/O classes defined by [Link] are listed here:

BufferedInputStream
BufferedOutputStream
BufferedReader
BufferedWriter
ByteArrayInputStream
ByteArrayOutputStream
CharArrayReader
CharArrayWriter
Console
DataInputStream

File
