Java I/O Stream

An I/O stream represents an input source or output destination for data. There are different types of streams for bytes versus characters and for input versus output. The java.io package defines abstract classes like InputStream and OutputStream that are extended by concrete stream classes. Input streams read data from a source one item at a time while output streams write data to a destination one item at a time.
