Java I/O, 2/e (Paperback)
內容描述
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 do I/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formatting, use characters aside from the standard (but outdated) ASCII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.
