FileReader
public
class
FileReader
extends InputStreamReader
Convenience class for reading character files. The constructors of this
class assume that the default character encoding and the default byte-buffer
size are appropriate. To specify these values yourself, construct an
InputStreamReader on a FileInputStream.
FileReader
is meant for reading streams of characters.
For reading streams of raw bytes, consider using a
FileInputStream
.
