Uses of InputStream in java.io

Subclasses of InputStream in java.io

Modifier and Type	Class and Description
class	BufferedInputStream A BufferedInputStream adds functionality to another input stream-namely, the ability to buffer the input and to support the mark and reset methods.
class	ByteArrayInputStream A ByteArrayInputStream contains an internal buffer that contains bytes that may be read from the stream.
class	DataInputStream A data input stream lets an application read primitive Java data types from an underlying input stream in a machine-independent way.
class	FileInputStream A FileInputStream obtains input bytes from a file in a file system.
class	FilterInputStream A FilterInputStream contains some other input stream, which it uses as its basic source of data, possibly transforming the data along the way or providing additional functionality.
class	LineNumberInputStream Deprecated. This class incorrectly assumes that bytes adequately represent characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to operate on character streams is via the new character-stream classes, which include a class for counting line numbers.
class	ObjectInputStream An ObjectInputStream deserializes primitive data and objects previously written using an ObjectOutputStream.
class	PipedInputStream A piped input stream should be connected to a piped output stream; the piped input stream then provides whatever data bytes are written to the piped output stream.
class	PushbackInputStream A PushbackInputStream adds functionality to another input stream, namely the ability to "push back" or "unread" one byte.
class	SequenceInputStream A SequenceInputStream represents the logical concatenation of other input streams.
class	StringBufferInputStream Deprecated. This class does not properly convert characters into bytes. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to create a stream from a string is via the StringReader class.
