Using Streams in Java

If you got confused by the number of streams in Java, check this out:

Using Java Streams: http://docs.rinet.ru/WebJPP/ch13.htm

Input and Output Streams: http://www.iam.ubc.ca/guides/javatut/java/io/index.html

Basic I/O: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/

Very very fast:

* Byte Streams handle I/O of raw binary data.
* Character Streams handle I/O of character data, automatically handling translation to and from the local character set.
* Buffered Streams optimize input and output by reducing the number of calls to the native API.
* Scanning and Formatting allows a program to read and write formatted text.
* I/O from the Command Line describes the Standard Streams and the Console object.
* Data Streams handle binary I/O of primitive data type and String values.
* Object Streams handle binary I/O of objects.
