Class CharStreams

java.lang.Object

org.qas.api.internal.util.google.io.CharStreams

public final class CharStreams
extends java.lang.Object

Provides utility methods for working with character streams.

All method parameters must be non-null unless documented otherwise.

Some of the methods in this class take arguments with a generic type of Readable & Closeable. A Reader implements both of those interfaces. Similarly for Appendable & Closeable and Writer.

Since:

1.0

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static java.io.Writer	asWriter(java.lang.Appendable target) Returns a Writer that sends all output to the given Appendable target.
static long	copy(java.lang.Readable from, java.lang.Appendable to) Copies all characters between the Readable and Appendable objects.
static java.io.Writer	nullWriter() Returns a Writer that simply discards written chars.
static java.util.List<java.lang.String>	readLines(java.lang.Readable r) Reads all of the lines from a Readable object.
static <T> T	readLines(java.lang.Readable readable, LineProcessor<T> processor) Streams lines from a Readable object, stopping when the processor returns false or all lines have been read and returning the result produced by the processor.
static void	skipFully(java.io.Reader reader, long n) Discards n characters of data from the reader.
static java.lang.String	toString(java.lang.Readable r) Reads all characters from a Readable object into a String.

Method Detail

copy

public static long copy(java.lang.Readable from,
                        java.lang.Appendable to)
                 throws java.io.IOException

Copies all characters between the Readable and Appendable objects. Does not close or flush either object.

Parameters:

from - the object to read from

to - the object to write to

Returns:

the number of characters copied

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs

toString

public static java.lang.String toString(java.lang.Readable r)
                                 throws java.io.IOException

Reads all characters from a Readable object into a String. Does not close the Readable.

Parameters:

r - the object to read from

Returns:

a string containing all the characters

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs

readLines

public static java.util.List<java.lang.String> readLines(java.lang.Readable r)
                                                  throws java.io.IOException

Reads all of the lines from a Readable object. The lines do not include line-termination characters, but do include other leading and trailing whitespace.

Does not close the Readable. If reading files or resources you should use the Files.readAllLines(Path) and Resources#readLines methods.

Parameters:

r - the object to read from

Returns:

a mutable List containing all the lines

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs

readLines

public static <T> T readLines(java.lang.Readable readable,
                              LineProcessor<T> processor)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Streams lines from a Readable object, stopping when the processor returns false or all lines have been read and returning the result produced by the processor. Does not close readable. Note that this method may not fully consume the contents of readable if the processor stops processing early.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs

Since:

14.0

skipFully

public static void skipFully(java.io.Reader reader,
                             long n)
                      throws java.io.IOException

Discards n characters of data from the reader. This method will block until the full amount has been skipped. Does not close the reader.

Parameters:

reader - the reader to read from

n - the number of characters to skip

Throws:

java.io.EOFException - if this stream reaches the end before skipping all the characters

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs

nullWriter

public static java.io.Writer nullWriter()

Returns a Writer that simply discards written chars.

Since:

15.0

asWriter

public static java.io.Writer asWriter(java.lang.Appendable target)

Returns a Writer that sends all output to the given Appendable target. Closing the writer will close the target if it is Closeable, and flushing the writer will flush the target if it is Flushable.

Parameters:

target - the object to which output will be sent

Returns:

a new Writer object, unless target is a Writer, in which case the target is returned
