1.26 File Input-Output in JAVA

This document discusses Java I/O and streams. It explains that Java uses streams to perform fast I/O operations and that the java.io package contains classes for input and output. It also defines three standard streams (System.out, System.in, System.err) and describes the FileOutputStream and FileInputStream classes for writing to and reading from files in Java.

JAVA I/O

• Java I/O (Input and Output) is used to process the input and produce
the output.
• Java uses the concept of a stream to make I/O operation fast. The
java.io package contains all the classes required for input and output
operations.
• We can perform file handling in Java by Java I/O API.

Stream

A stream is a sequence of data. In Java, a stream is composed of bytes. It's


called a stream because it is like a stream of water that continues to flow.

In Java, 3 streams are created for us automatically. All these streams are
attached with the console.
1) System.out: standard output stream
2) System.in: standard input stream
3) System.err: standard error stream

OutputStream vs InputStream
The explanation of OutputStream and InputStream classes are given below:
OutputStream
Java application uses an output stream to write data to a destination; it may be a file, an array, peripheral device or socket.
InputStream
Java application uses an input stream to read data from a source; it may be a file, an array, peripheral device or socket.
Let's understand the working of Java OutputStream and InputStream by the figure given below.

Java FileOutputStream Class
• Java FileOutputStream is an output stream used for writing data to
a file.
• If you have to write primitive values into a file, use FileOutputStream
class. You can write byte-oriented as well as character-oriented data
through FileOutputStream class. But, for character-oriented data, it is
preferred to use FileWriter than FileOutputStream.

import java.io.FileOutputStream;
public class FileOutputStreamExample {
public static void main(String args[]){
try{
FileOutputStream fout=new FileOutputStream("D:\\testout.txt");
fout.write(65);
fout.close();
System.out.println("success...");
}catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}
} Output:
} Success...

The content of a text file testout.txt is set with


the data A.

testout.txt
A

import java.io.FileOutputStream;
public class FileOutputStreamExample {
public static void main(String args[]){
try{
FileOutputStream fout=new FileOutputStream("D:\\testout.txt");
String s="Welcome to javaTpoint.";
byte b[]=s.getBytes();//converting string into byte array
fout.write(b);
fout.close();
System.out.println("success...");
}catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}
}
} Output:
Success...
The content of a text file testout.txt is set with the
data Welcome to javaTpoint.
testout.txt
Welcome to javaTpoint.

Java FileInputStream Class

• Java FileInputStream class obtains input bytes from a file. It is used for
reading byte-oriented data (streams of raw bytes) such as image data,
audio, video etc.
• You can also read character-stream data. But, for reading streams of
characters, it is recommended to use FileReader class.

import java.io.FileInputStream;
public class DataStreamExample {
public static void main(String args[]){
try{
FileInputStream fin=new FileInputStream("D:\\testout.txt");
int i=fin.read();
System.out.print((char)i);

fin.close();
}catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}
}
}

public static void main(String args[]){
try{
FileInputStream fin=new FileInputStream("D:\\testout.txt");
int i=0;
while((i=fin.read())!=-1){
System.out.print((char)i);
}
fin.close();
}catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}
