File Handling in Java

File handling in Java involves using the `File` class for file operations, `FileReader` and `FileWriter` for reading and writing text, and `BufferedReader` and `BufferedWriter` for efficient text handling. Additionally, `FileInputStream` and `FileOutputStream` are used for binary data, while the try-with-resources statement helps manage file resources automatically. This document provides examples for each file handling method to illustrate their usage.

File Handling in Java

File handling in Java is an essential topic for dealing with reading and writing files.

Here's a quick rundown of the basics:

1. **File Class**:

- The `File` class in java.io package provides methods to create, delete, and check properties of

files.

- Example:

```java

File myFile = new File("filename.txt");

if (myFile.exists()) {

System.out.println("File exists");

} else {

System.out.println("File does not exist");

```

2. **FileReader and FileWriter**:

- `FileReader` is used to read the contents of a file character by character.

- `FileWriter` is used to write characters to a file.

- Example:

```java

FileWriter writer = new FileWriter("output.txt");

writer.write("Hello, World!");

writer.close();
FileReader reader = new FileReader("output.txt");

int character;

while ((character = reader.read()) != -1) {

System.out.print((char) character);

reader.close();

```

3. **BufferedReader and BufferedWriter**:

- `BufferedReader` reads text from an input stream efficiently by buffering characters.

- `BufferedWriter` writes text to an output stream, buffering characters to enhance performance.

- Example:

```java

BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("output.txt"));

writer.write("Buffered writing is fast!");

writer.close();

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("output.txt"));

String line;

while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {

System.out.println(line);

reader.close();

```
4. **FileInputStream and FileOutputStream**:

- These are used for reading and writing binary data (like images or videos).

- Example:

```java

FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream("input.jpg");

FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream("output.jpg");

int byteData;

while ((byteData = inputStream.read()) != -1) {

outputStream.write(byteData);

inputStream.close();

outputStream.close();

```

5. **Try-with-Resources**:

- Automatically closes file resources to prevent memory leaks.

- Example:

```java

try (FileWriter writer = new FileWriter("output.txt")) {

writer.write("Automatic resource management!");

} catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

```
