Streams are a convenient metaphor for reading and writing data regardless of whether that data comes from a file, a network connection, the console, another thread, or some other source. Furthermore streams can be filtered to perform encryption, serialization, compression, translation, and other services.<br /><br />Java I/O 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. Plus, it shows you how to control number formatting, use characters aside from the standard ASCII character set, and get a head start on writing truly multilingual software.<br /><br />Here are just a few of the topics covered in depth in Java I/O:<br /><br /> * How to take advantage of the polymorphic nature of InputStream and OutputStream<br /> * Files and network connections, the two most common sources of input and output<br /> * Filter streams<br /> * Reading and writing text<br /> * Padding and aligning numbers<br /> * Communicating with serial and parallel port devices<br /> * The Java Cryptography Extension<br /> * Object Serialization<br /> * Data Compression<br /> * Writing file access code that works across platforms<br /> * File dialogs in both the classic AWT and Swing<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1259829751243677302-5003154836343763575?l=sw-reference-books.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sachinnoreply@blogger.com0
