Product Description

Product Description
All of Java's Input/Output (I/O) facilities are based on streams, which provide simple ways to read and write data of different types. Java provides many different kinds of streams, each with its own application. The universe of streams is divided into four large categories: input streams and output streams, for reading and writing binary data; and readers and writers, for reading and writing textual (character) data. You're almost certainly familiar with the basic kinds of streams - but did you know that there's a CipherInputStream for reading encrypted data? And a ZipOutputStream for automatically compressing data? Do you know how to use buffered streams effectively to make your I/O operations more efficient? "Java I/O, 2nd Edition" has been updated for Java 5.0 APIs and tells you all you ever need to know about streams - and probably more. A discussion of I/O wouldn't be complete without treatment of character sets and formatting. Java supports the UNICODE standard, which provides definitions for the character sets of most written languages. Consequently, Java is the first programming language that lets you doI/O in virtually any language. Java also provides a sophisticated model for formatting textual and numeric data. "Java I/O, 2nd Edition" shows you how to control number formatting, use characters aside from the standard (but outdated) ASCII character set, and get a head start on writing truly multilingual software.

From the Publisher
All of Java's Input/Output (I/O) facilities are based on streams, which provide simple ways to read and write data of different types. Java I/O, 2nd Edition tells you all you need to know about the four main categories of streams and uncovers less-known features to help make your I/O operations more efficient. You'll also learn how to control number formatting, use characters aside from the standard ASCII character set, and get a head start on writing truly multilingual software.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent reference on I/O in Java, 6 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Java I/O (Paperback)
I bought this book because I had some specific questions about I/O in Java, and although this book didn't answer those questions directly, it gave me sufficient information to resolve the questions I had by my own further investigations. That said, it answered a great many questions that I hadn't asked (but probably should have). The authors writing style is very accessable, and the structure of the book has clearly been given a great deal of thought. I particularly like the chapter prerequisites the author provides for the book, thus, it's very easy to get at the core of the topic you are interested in without having to continually flick backwards and forward through the book. The code examples are small enough to be easily digested and provided an excellent starting point for my own programs. I can highly recommend this book, and will almost certainly be purchasing other books by this author. If you are involved in any sort of I/O in Java (and I suspect that means anyone who uses Java) you should have this book.
