| |
| INTRODUCTION: |
| |
| Commons IO is a package of Java utility classes for java.io's hierarchy. |
| Classes in this package are considered to be so standard and of such high |
| reuse as to justify existence in java.io. |
| |
| Commons IO contains utility classes, stream implementations, file filters, |
| and endian transformation classes. |
