Java StringWriter class creates a string from the characters of the String Buffer stream. Methods of the StringWriter class in Java can also be called after closing the Stream as this will raise no IO Exception.
Declaration in Java StringWriter Class
public class StringWriter extends Writer
Constructors in StringWriter Class in Java
Constructors used in String Writer Class in Java are mentioned below:
- StringWriter() : Creates a new StringWriter using the initial or default size of String Buffer
- StringWriter(int size) : Creates a new StringWriter using the mentioned size of String Buffer
Methods in Java StringWriter Class
All the methods involved with the Java StringWriter class are mentioned below:
|
Method |
Description |
|---|---|
| append(char Sw) | appends a single character to the String Buffer. |
| append(CharSequence char_sq) | appends specified character sequences to the String Buffer. |
| append(CharSequence ,char_sq,int start,int end) | appends specified part of a character sequence to the String Buffer. |
| flush() | flushes the StringWriter stream. |
| getBuffer() | returns the StringBuffer of StringWriter. |
| write(int char) | writes a single character to the String Buffer. |
| write(String str) | writes string to the String Buffer. |
| write(String str, int offset, int maxlen) | writes some part of the string to the String Buffer. |
| write(char[] carray, int offset, int maxlen) | writes some part of the character array to the String Buffer. |
| toString() | returns value of the String Buffer as string |
| close() | closes String Buffer.Since, method can also be called after closing the String Buffer so,it play no role. |
1. write(int char)
java.io.StringWriter.write(int char) writes a single character to the String Buffer.
Syntax: public void write(int char) Parameters : char : int value of the character to be written. Return : void
2. write(String str)
java.io.StringWriter.write(String str) writes string to the String Buffer.
Syntax: public void write(String str) Parameters : str : string to be written to the String Buffer. Return : void
3. write(String str, int offset, int maxlen)
java.io.StringWriter.write(String str, int offset, int maxlen) writes some part of the string to the String Buffer.
Syntax: public void write(String str, int offset, int maxlen) Parameters : str : string to be written to the String Buffer. offset : start position of the String maxlen : maximum length upto which string has to written Return : void
4. write(char[] carray, int offset, int maxlen)
java.io.StringWriter.write(char[] carray, int offset, int maxlen) writes some part of the character array to the String Buffer.
Syntax: public void write(char[] carray, int offset, int maxlen) Parameters : carray : character to be written to the String Buffer offset : start position of the character array maxlen : maximum no. of the character of the carray has to written Return : void
5. toString()
java.io.StringWriter.toString() returns the value of the String Buffer as a string .
Syntax: public String toString() Parameters : ----------- Return : string value of the String Buffer
6. close()
java.io.StringWriter.close() closes String Buffer. Since, method can also be called after closing th String Buffer so, it play no role.
Syntax: public void close() Parameters : ----------- Return : void
7. append(char Sw)
java.io.StringWriter.append(char Sw) appends a single character to the String Buffer.
Syntax: public StringWriter append(char Sw) Parameters : Sw : character to be append Return : StringWriter
8. append(CharSequence char_sq)
java.io.StringWriter.append(CharSequence char_sq) appends specified character sequence to the String Buffer.
Syntax: public StringWriter append(CharSequence char_sq) Parameters : char_sq : Character sequence to append. Return : StringWriter, if char sequence is null, then NULL appends to the StringWriter.
9. append(CharSequence char_sq, int start, int end)
java.io.StringWriter.append(CharSequence char_sq, int start, int end) appends specified part of a character sequence to the String Buffer.
Syntax: public StringWriter append(CharSequence char_sq, int start, int end) Parameters : char_sq : Character sequence to append. start : start of character in the Char Sequence end : end of character in the Char Sequence Return : void
10. flush()
java.io.StringWriter.flush() flushes the StringWriter stream.
Syntax: public void flush() Parameters : ----- Return : void
11. getBuffer()
java.io.StringWriter.getBuffer() returns the String Buffer of StringWriter.
Syntax: public StringBuffer getBuffer() Parameters : ----------- Return : String Buffer with its current value.
