Interface Summary

Interface	Description
ByteArrayDataInput	An extension of DataInput for reading from in-memory byte arrays; its methods offer identical functionality but do not throw IOException.
ByteArrayDataOutput	An extension of DataOutput for writing to in-memory byte arrays; its methods offer identical functionality but do not throw IOException.
ByteProcessor<T>	A callback interface to process bytes from a stream.
Closer.Suppressor	Suppression strategy interface.
LineProcessor<T>	A callback to be used with the streaming readLines methods.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AppendableWriter	Writer that places all output on an Appendable target.
BaseEncoding	A binary encoding scheme for reversibly translating between byte sequences and printable ASCII strings.
BaseEncoding.Alphabet
BaseEncoding.Base16Encoding
BaseEncoding.Base64Encoding
BaseEncoding.SeparatedBaseEncoding
BaseEncoding.StandardBaseEncoding
ByteSink	A destination to which bytes can be written, such as a file.
ByteSource	A readable source of bytes, such as a file.
ByteSource.ByteArrayByteSource
ByteSource.ConcatenatedByteSource
ByteSource.EmptyByteSource
ByteStreams	Provides utility methods for working with byte arrays and I/O streams.
ByteStreams.ByteArrayDataInputStream
ByteStreams.ByteArrayDataOutputStream
ByteStreams.FastByteArrayOutputStream	BAOS that provides limited access to its internal byte array.
ByteStreams.LimitedInputStream
CharSequenceReader	A Reader that reads the characters in a CharSequence.
CharSink	A destination to which characters can be written, such as a text file.
CharSource	A readable source of characters, such as a text file.
CharSource.CharSequenceCharSource
CharSource.ConcatenatedCharSource
CharSource.EmptyCharSource
CharStreams	Provides utility methods for working with character streams.
CharStreams.NullWriter

Closer	A Closeable that collects Closeable resources and closes them all when it is closed.
Closer.LoggingSuppressor	Suppresses exceptions by logging them.
Closer.SuppressingSuppressor	Suppresses exceptions by adding them to the exception that will be thrown using JDK7's addSuppressed(Throwable) mechanism.
CountingInputStream	An InputStream that counts the number of bytes read.
CountingOutputStream	An OutputStream that counts the number of bytes written.
FileBackedOutputStream	An OutputStream that starts buffering to a byte array, but switches to file buffering once the data reaches a configurable size.

Files	Provides utility methods for working with files.
Files.FileByteSink
Files.FileByteSource
Flushables	Utility methods for working with Flushable objects.
LineBuffer	Package-protected abstract class that implements the line reading algorithm used by LineReader.
LineReader	A class for reading lines of text.
LittleEndianDataInputStream	An implementation of DataInput that uses little-endian byte ordering for reading short, int, float, double, and long values.
LittleEndianDataOutputStream	An implementation of DataOutput that uses little-endian byte ordering for writing char, short, int, float, double, and long values.
MultiInputStream	An InputStream that concatenates multiple substreams.
MultiReader	A Reader that concatenates multiple readers.
PatternFilenameFilter	File name filter that only accepts files matching a regular expression.
ReaderInputStream	An InputStream that converts characters from a Reader into bytes using an arbitrary Charset.
Resources	Provides utility methods for working with resources in the classpath.
Resources.UrlByteSource	A byte source that reads from a URL using URL.openStream().

Enum Summary

Enum	Description
Files.FilePredicate
FileWriteMode	Modes for opening a file for writing.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
BaseEncoding.DecodingException	Exception indicating invalid base-encoded input encountered while decoding.

Package com.google.common.io Description

This package contains utility methods and classes for working with Java I/O; for example input streams, output streams, readers, writers, and files.

At the core of this package are the Source/Sink types: ByteSource, CharSource, ByteSink and CharSink. They are factories for I/O streams that provide many convenience methods that handle both opening and closing streams for you.

This package is a part of the open-source Guava library. For more information on Sources and Sinks as well as other features of this package, see I/O Explained on the Guava wiki.
