FileWriter Class
Package: java.io
The FileWriter
class connects to a File
object and provides the basic ability to write to the file.
In most cases, you won’t use methods of this class directly. Instead, you’ll use this class to connect to BufferedWriter
, which extends the FileWriter
class by providing buffering for more efficient output. Then, you’ll connect the Buffered Writer
object to a PrintWriter
object, which has more useful methods for writing output data to a character stream. As a result, this section shows only the constructor for the FileWriter
class and not its methods. For more information, see PrintWriter Class.
