Class UnsynchronizedBufferedReader

All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, AutoCloseable, Readable
public class UnsynchronizedBufferedReader extends UnsynchronizedReader
Wraps an existing Reader and buffers the input without any synchronization. Expensive interaction with the underlying reader is minimized, since most (smaller) requests can be satisfied by accessing the buffer alone. The drawback is that some extra space is required to hold the buffer and that copying takes place when filling that buffer, but this is usually outweighed by the performance benefits.

A typical application pattern for the class looks like this: 


 UnsynchronizedBufferedReader buf = new UnsynchronizedBufferedReader(new FileReader("file"));

Provenance: Apache Harmony's java.io.BufferedReader, renamed, and modified.

  • Constructor Details

    • UnsynchronizedBufferedReader

      public UnsynchronizedBufferedReader(Reader in)
      Constructs a new BufferedReader on the Reader in. The buffer gets the default size (8 KB).
      Parameters:
      in - the Reader that is buffered.

    • UnsynchronizedBufferedReader

      public UnsynchronizedBufferedReader(Reader in, int size)
      Constructs a new BufferedReader on the Reader in. The buffer size is specified by the parameter size.
      Parameters:
      in - the Reader that is buffered.
      size - the size of the buffer to allocate.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if size <= 0.

  • Method Details

    • close

      public void close() throws IOException
      Closes this reader. This implementation closes the buffered source reader and releases the buffer. Nothing is done if this reader has already been closed.
      Specified by:
      close in interface AutoCloseable
      Specified by:
      close in interface Closeable
      Overrides:
      close in class UnsynchronizedReader
      Throws:
      IOException - if an error occurs while closing this reader.

    • mark

      public void mark(int markLimit) throws IOException
      Sets a mark position in this reader. The parameter markLimit indicates how many characters can be read before the mark is invalidated. Calling reset() will reposition the reader back to the marked position if markLimit has not been surpassed.
      Overrides:
      mark in class Reader
      Parameters:
      markLimit - the number of characters that can be read before the mark is invalidated.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if markLimit < 0.
      IOException - if an error occurs while setting a mark in this reader.
      See Also:

    • markSupported

      public boolean markSupported()
      Tests whether this reader supports the mark(int) and reset() methods. This implementation returns true.
      Overrides:
      markSupported in class Reader
      Returns:
      true for BufferedReader.
      See Also:

    • peek

      public int peek() throws IOException
      Returns the next character in the current reader without consuming it. So the next call to read() will still return this value.
      Returns:
      the next character
      Throws:
      IOException - If an I/O error occurs

    • peek

      public int peek(char[] buf) throws IOException
      Populates the buffer with the next buf.length characters in the current reader without consuming them. The next call to read() will still return the next value.
      Parameters:
      buf - the buffer to fill for the look ahead.
      Returns:
      the buffer itself
      Throws:
      IOException - If an I/O error occurs

    • read

      public int read() throws IOException
      Reads a single character from this reader and returns it with the two higher-order bytes set to 0. If possible, BufferedReader returns a character from the buffer. If there are no characters available in the buffer, it fills the buffer and then returns a character. It returns -1 if there are no more characters in the source reader.
      Overrides:
      read in class Reader
      Returns:
      the character read or -1 if the end of the source reader has been reached.
      Throws:
      IOException - if this reader is closed or some other I/O error occurs.

    • read

      public int read(char[] buffer, int offset, int length) throws IOException
      Reads at most length characters from this reader and stores them at offset in the character array buffer. Returns the number of characters actually read or -1 if the end of the source reader has been reached. If all the buffered characters have been used, a mark has not been set and the requested number of characters is larger than this readers buffer size, BufferedReader bypasses the buffer and simply places the results directly into buffer.
      Specified by:
      read in class Reader
      Parameters:
      buffer - the character array to store the characters read.
      offset - the initial position in buffer to store the bytes read from this reader.
      length - the maximum number of characters to read, must be non-negative.
      Returns:
      number of characters read or -1 if the end of the source reader has been reached.
      Throws:
      IndexOutOfBoundsException - if offset < 0 or length < 0, or if offset + length is greater than the size of buffer.
      IOException - if this reader is closed or some other I/O error occurs.

    • readLine

      public String readLine() throws IOException
      Returns the next line of text available from this reader. A line is represented by zero or more characters followed by LF, CR, "\r\n" or the end of the reader. The string does not include the newline sequence.
      Returns:
      the contents of the line or null if no characters were read before the end of the reader has been reached.
      Throws:
      IOException - if this reader is closed or some other I/O error occurs.

    • ready

      public boolean ready() throws IOException
      Tests whether this reader is ready to be read without blocking.
      Overrides:
      ready in class Reader
      Returns:
      true if this reader will not block when read is called, false if unknown or blocking will occur.
      Throws:
      IOException - if this reader is closed or some other I/O error occurs.
      See Also:

    • reset

      public void reset() throws IOException
      Resets this reader's position to the last mark() location. Invocations of read() and skip() will occur from this new location.
      Overrides:
      reset in class Reader
      Throws:
      IOException - if this reader is closed or no mark has been set.
      See Also:

    • skip

      public long skip(long amount) throws IOException
      Skips amount characters in this reader. Subsequent read()s will not return these characters unless reset() is used. Skipping characters may invalidate a mark if markLimit is surpassed.
      Overrides:
      skip in class UnsynchronizedReader
      Parameters:
      amount - the maximum number of characters to skip.
      Returns:
      the number of characters actually skipped.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if amount < 0.
      IOException - if this reader is closed or some other I/O error occurs.
