What's New in 1.1? |
To support internationalization, the JDK 1.1 release adds character streams to thejava.io
package. Character streams are like the byte streams that appeared in JDK 1.0 except that they operate on 16-bit Unicode characters rather than 8-bit bytes. In addition, two new byte streams were added tojava.io
to support object serialization.Where to Find Documentation
- The new character streams are documented in the Reading and Writing lesson which also contains a section on Object Serialization.
- For a concise list of the new classes and interfaces added to
java.io

- For information about converting 1.0 programs that use byte streams to 1.1 programs using character streams refer to How to Convert Code that Uses I/O.

java.io
