0N/AA package of the Java Image I/O API dealing with low-level I/O from
0N/Afiles and streams.
0N/A
0N/A<p>
0N/A
0N/AThe <code>ImageInputStream</code> interface unifies streaming and
0N/Afile-based operations. An abstract base class,
0N/A<code>ImageInputStreamImpl</code> is provided to simplify writing
0N/Aa new <code>ImageInputStream</code> class. Concrete implementation
0N/Aclasses (<code>FileImageInputStream</code>,
0N/A<code>FileCacheImageInputStream</code>, and
0N/A<code>MemoryCacheImageInputStream</code>) are provided that allow
0N/Ainput to come from a <code>File</code> or <code>InputStream</code>
0N/Awith or without the use of a temporary cache file.
0N/A
0N/A<p>
0N/A
0N/AThe <code>ImageOutputStream</code> interface performs an analogous
0N/Afunction for output. An abstract base class,
0N/A<code>ImageOutputStreamImpl</code> is provided, along with
0N/Aconcrete implementation classes (<code>FileImageOutputStream</code>,
0N/A<code>FileCacheImageOutputStream</code>, and
0N/A<code>MemoryCacheImageOutputStream</code>) are provided that allow
0N/Aoutput to go to a <code>File</code> or <code>OutputStream</code> with
0N/Aor without the use of a temporary cache file.
0N/A
0N/A<p>
0N/A
0N/AThe <code>IIOByteBuffer</code> class provides an alternative way to
0N/Aperform reads of sequences of bytes that reduces the amount of
0N/Ainternal data copying.
