| BufferedInputStream | This subclass of FilterInputStream buffers input from an
underlying implementation to provide a possibly more efficient read
mechanism. |

writing the data to the underlying output sink. |
| ByteArrayInputStream | This class permits an array of bytes to be read as an input stream.

and then retrieved by an application. |
| DataInputStream | This subclass of FilteredInputStream implements the
DataInput interface that provides method for reading primitive
Java data types from a stream.

any open FileDescriptor.
|
| FilePermission | |

to read from a file. |
| FileWriter | This is a convenience class for writing to files. |
| FilterInputStream | This is the common superclass of all standard classes that filter
input. |
| FilterOutputStream | This class is the common superclass of output stream classes that
filter the output they write. |
| FilterReader | This is the common superclass of all standard classes that filter
input. |
| FilterWriter | This class is the common superclass of output character stream classes
that filter the output they write. |
| InputStream | This abstract class forms the base of the hierarchy of classes that read
input as a stream of bytes. |
| InputStreamReader | This class reads characters from a byte input stream. |
| LineNumberInputStream | This class functions like a standard InputStream
except that it counts line numbers, and canonicalizes newline
characters. |
| LineNumberReader | This class functions like a standard Reader except that it
counts line numbers, and canonicalizes newline characters. |
| ObjectInputStream | |
| ObjectInputStream.GetField | This class allows a class to specify exactly which fields should
be read, and what values should be read for these fields.
|
| ObjectOutputStream | An ObjectOutputStream can be used to write objects
as well as primitive data in a platform-independent manner to an
OutputStream.
|
| ObjectOutputStream.PutField | This class allows a class to specify exactly which fields should
be written, and what values should be written for these fields.
|
| ObjectStreamClass | |
| ObjectStreamField | This class intends to describe the field of a class for the serialization
subsystem. |
| OutputStream | This abstract class forms the base of the hierarchy of classes that
write output as a stream of bytes. |
| OutputStreamWriter | This class writes characters to an output stream that is byte oriented
It converts the chars that are written to bytes using an encoding layer,
which is specific to a particular encoding standard. |
| PipedInputStream | An input stream that reads its bytes from an output stream
to which it is connected.
|
| PipedOutputStream | This class writes its bytes to a PipedInputStream to
which it is connected.
|
| PipedReader | An input stream that reads characters from a piped writer to which it is
connected.
|
| PipedWriter | This class writes its chars to a PipedReader to
which it is connected.
|
| PrintStream | This class prints Java primitive values and object to a stream as
text. |
| PrintWriter | This class prints Java primitive values and objects to a stream as
text. |
| PushbackInputStream | This subclass of FilterInputStream provides the ability to
unread data from a stream. |
| PushbackReader | This subclass of FilterReader provides the ability to
unread data from a stream. |
| RandomAccessFile | This class allows reading and writing of files at random locations.
|
| Reader | This abstract class forms the base of the hierarchy of classes that read
input as a stream of characters. |
| SequenceInputStream | This class merges a sequence of multiple InputStream's in
order to form a single logical stream that can be read by applications
that expect only one stream.
|
| SerializablePermission | This class models permissions related to serialization. |
| StreamTokenizer | This class parses streams of characters into tokens. |
| StringBufferInputStream | This class permits a String to be read as an input stream.
|
| StringReader | This class permits a String to be read as a character
input stream.
|
| StringWriter | This class writes chars to an internal StringBuffer that
can then be used to retrieve a String.
|
| Writer | This abstract class forms the base of the hierarchy of classes that
write output as a stream of chars. |
