Introduction to Streams
• Streams are a fundamental concept in
programming.

• They provide a way to handle input and


output in a sequential and efficient
manner.

• Streams can be used for reading and


writing data, such as files, network
Types of Streams
• There are two main types of streams: input
streams and output streams.

• Input streams are used for reading data


from a source.

• Output streams are used for writing data


to a destination.
Common Stream Classes
• In Java, the most commonly used
stream classes are FileInputStream and
FileOutputStream.

• FileInputStream is used for reading data


from a file.

• FileOutputStream is used for writing


data to a file.
Buffering
• Buffering is the process of temporarily
storing data in memory before it is read or
written to a stream.

• Buffering can significantly improve


performance by reducing the number of
I/O operations.

• In Java, buffering can be achieved by using


Character Streams
• Character streams are used for reading
and writing text-based data.

• In Java, the most commonly used


character stream classes are FileReader
and FileWriter.

• FileReader is used for reading text from a


file, while FileWriter is used for writing text
Byte Streams
• Byte streams are used for reading and
writing binary data.

• In Java, the most commonly used byte


stream classes are DataInputStream and
DataOutputStream.

• DataInputStream and DataOutputStream


provide methods for reading and writing
Serialization
• Serialization is the process of converting
an object into a stream of bytes, which can
then be stored or transmitted.

• In Java, serialization is achieved by


implementing the Serializable interface.

• ObjectInputStream and
ObjectOutputStream are used for reading
Piping
• Piping is a mechanism for connecting the
output of one stream to the input of
another stream.

• Piping can be used to create a chain of


streams, where data flows from one
stream to another.

• In Java, PipedInputStream and


Handling Exceptions
• When working with streams, it is important
to handle exceptions properly.

• IOException is the most common


exception that can occur when working
with streams.

• It is recommended to use try-catch blocks


to handle exceptions and ensure proper
Conclusion
• Streams are a powerful and versatile
concept in programming.

• They provide a convenient and efficient


way to handle input and output
operations.

• Understanding streams and their different


types can greatly enhance your
