Class IOUtils

public class IOUtils
extends Object
extends Object

General IO stream manipulation utilities.

This class provides static utility methods for input/output operations.

closeQuietly - these methods close a stream ignoring nulls and exceptions
toXxx/read - these methods read data from a stream
write - these methods write data to a stream
copy - these methods copy all the data from one stream to another
contentEquals - these methods compare the content of two streams

The byte-to-char methods and char-to-byte methods involve a conversion step. Two methods are provided in each case, one that uses the platform default encoding and the other which allows you to specify an encoding. You are encouraged to always specify an encoding because relying on the platform default can lead to unexpected results, for example when moving from development to production.

All the methods in this class that read a stream are buffered internally. This means that there is no cause to use a BufferedInputStream or BufferedReader. The default buffer size of 4K has been shown to be efficient in tests.

Wherever possible, the methods in this class do not flush or close the stream. This is to avoid making non-portable assumptions about the streams' origin and further use. Thus the caller is still responsible for closing streams after use.

Origin of code: Excalibur.

Copy bytes from a large (over 2GB) InputStream to an OutputStream.

This method buffers the input internally, so there is no need to use a BufferedInputStream.

Parameters:: input - the InputStream to read from; output - the OutputStream to write to
Returns:: the number of bytes copied
Throws:: NullPointerException - if the input or output is null; IOException - if an I/O error occurs
Since:: Commons IO 1.3

copy

public static void copy(InputStream input,
                        Writer output)
                 throws IOException

Copy bytes from an InputStream to chars on a Writer using the default character encoding of the platform.

This method buffers the input internally, so there is no need to use a BufferedInputStream.

This method uses InputStreamReader.

Parameters:: input - the InputStream to read from; output - the Writer to write to
Throws:: NullPointerException - if the input or output is null; IOException - if an I/O error occurs
Since:: Commons IO 1.1

copy

public static void copy(InputStream input,
                        Writer output,
                        String encoding)
                 throws IOException

Copy bytes from an InputStream to chars on a Writer using the specified character encoding.

This method buffers the input internally, so there is no need to use a BufferedInputStream.

Character encoding names can be found at IANA.

This method uses InputStreamReader.

Parameters:: input - the InputStream to read from; output - the Writer to write to; encoding - the encoding to use, null means platform default
Throws:: NullPointerException - if the input or output is null; IOException - if an I/O error occurs
Since:: Commons IO 1.1

copy

public static int copy(Reader input,
                       Writer output)
                throws IOException

Copy chars from a Reader to a Writer.

This method buffers the input internally, so there is no need to use a BufferedReader.

Large streams (over 2GB) will return a chars copied value of -1 after the copy has completed since the correct number of chars cannot be returned as an int. For large streams use the copyLarge(Reader, Writer) method.

Parameters:: input - the Reader to read from; output - the Writer to write to
Returns:: the number of characters copied
Throws:: NullPointerException - if the input or output is null; IOException - if an I/O error occurs; ArithmeticException - if the character count is too large
Since:: Commons IO 1.1

copyLarge

public static long copyLarge(Reader input,
                             Writer output)
                      throws IOException

Copy chars from a large (over 2GB) Reader to a Writer.

This method buffers the input internally, so there is no need to use a BufferedReader.

Parameters:: input - the Reader to read from; output - the Writer to write to
Returns:: the number of characters copied
Throws:: NullPointerException - if the input or output is null; IOException - if an I/O error occurs
Since:: Commons IO 1.3

copy

public static void copy(Reader input,
                        OutputStream output)
                 throws IOException

Copy chars from a Reader to bytes on an OutputStream using the default character encoding of the platform, and calling flush.

This method buffers the input internally, so there is no need to use a BufferedReader.

Due to the implementation of OutputStreamWriter, this method performs a flush.

This method uses OutputStreamWriter.

Parameters:: input - the Reader to read from; output - the OutputStream to write to
Throws:: NullPointerException - if the input or output is null; IOException - if an I/O error occurs
Since:: Commons IO 1.1

copy

public static void copy(Reader input,
                        OutputStream output,
                        String encoding)
                 throws IOException

Copy chars from a Reader to bytes on an OutputStream using the specified character encoding, and calling flush.

This method buffers the input internally, so there is no need to use a BufferedReader.

Character encoding names can be found at IANA.

Due to the implementation of OutputStreamWriter, this method performs a flush.

This method uses OutputStreamWriter.

Parameters:: input - the Reader to read from; output - the OutputStream to write to; encoding - the encoding to use, null means platform default
Throws:: NullPointerException - if the input or output is null; IOException - if an I/O error occurs
Since:: Commons IO 1.1

contentEquals

public static boolean contentEquals(InputStream input1,
                                    InputStream input2)
                             throws IOException

Compare the contents of two Streams to determine if they are equal or not.

This method buffers the input internally using BufferedInputStream if they are not already buffered.

Parameters:: input1 - the first stream; input2 - the second stream
Returns:: true if the content of the streams are equal or they both don't exist, false otherwise
Throws:: NullPointerException - if either input is null; IOException - if an I/O error occurs

contentEquals

public static boolean contentEquals(Reader input1,
                                    Reader input2)
                             throws IOException

Compare the contents of two Readers to determine if they are equal or not.

This method buffers the input internally using BufferedReader if they are not already buffered.

Parameters:: input1 - the first reader; input2 - the second reader
Returns:: true if the content of the readers are equal or they both don't exist, false otherwise
Throws:: NullPointerException - if either input is null; IOException - if an I/O error occurs
Since:: Commons IO 1.1
