Inhaltsangabe

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" 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 "Java I/O" shows you how to control number formatting, use characters aside from the standard (but outdated) ASCII character set, and get a head start on writing truly multilingual software.

"Java I/O" includes:

Coverage of all I/O classes and related classes

In-depth coverage of Java's number formatting facilities and its support for International character sets

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Elliotte Rusty Harold is a noted writer and programmer, both on and off the Internet. He started by writing FAQ lists for the Macintosh newsgroups on Usenet, and has since branched out into books, Web sites, and newsletters. He's currently fascinated by Java, which is beginning to consume his life. His Cafe Au Lait Web site at http://sunsite.unc.edu/javafaq/ is one of the most popular independent Java sites on the Net. Elliotte resides in New York City with his wife Beth and cats Charm (named after the quark) and Marjorie (named after his mother-in-law). When not writing about Java, he enjoys genealogy, mathematics, and quantum mechanics, and has been known to try to incorporate these subjects into his computer books (when he can slip them past his editors). So far he hasn't been able to, but he suspects that a short, last-minute biography might not be inspected as closely as the rest of a manuscript. His other books include The Java Developer's Resource (Prentice Hall), Java Network Programming (O'Reilly), Java Secrets (IDG Books), and JavaBeans (IDG Books)
