public final class IOUtil extends Object
This class provides static utility methods for input/output operations, particularly buffered
copying between sources (InputStream
, Reader
, String
and
byte[]
) and destinations (OutputStream
, Writer
,
String
and byte[]
).
Unless otherwise noted, these copy
methods do not flush or close the
streams. Often, doing so would require making non-portable assumptions about the streams' origin
and further use. This means that both streams' close()
methods must be called after
copying. if one omits this step, then the stream resources (sockets, file descriptors) are
released when the associated Stream is garbage-collected. It is not a good idea to rely on this
mechanism. For a good overview of the distinction between "memory management" and "resource
management", see this
UnixReview article
For each copy
method, a variant is provided that allows the caller to specify the
buffer size (the default is 4k). As the buffer size can have a fairly large impact on speed, this
may be worth tweaking. Often "large buffer -> faster" does not hold, even for large data
transfers.
For byte-to-char methods, a copy
variant allows the encoding to be selected
(otherwise the platform default is used).
The copy
methods use an internal buffer when copying. It is therefore advisable
not to deliberately wrap the stream arguments to the copy
methods in
Buffered*
streams. For example, don't do the
following:
copy( new BufferedInputStream( in ), new BufferedOutputStream( out ) );
The rationale is as follows:
Imagine that an InputStream's read() is a very expensive operation, which would usually suggest
wrapping in a BufferedInputStream. The BufferedInputStream works by issuing infrequent
InputStream.read(byte[] b, int off, int len)
requests on the underlying InputStream, to
fill an internal buffer, from which further read
requests can inexpensively get
their data (until the buffer runs out).
However, the copy
methods do the same thing, keeping an internal buffer,
populated by InputStream.read(byte[] b, int off, int len)
requests. Having two buffers
(or three if the destination stream is also buffered) is pointless, and the unnecessary buffer
management hurts performance slightly (about 3%, according to some simple experiments).
