public class StringWriter extends Writer
A character stream that collects its output in a string buffer, which can then be used to construct a string.
Closing a StringWriter
has no effect. The methods in this class can be called after the stream has been closed without generating an IOException
.
lock
public StringWriter()
Create a new string writer using the default initial string-buffer size.
public StringWriter(int initialSize)
Create a new string writer using the specified initial string-buffer size.
initialSize
- The number of char
values that will fit into this buffer before it is automatically expandedIllegalArgumentException
- If initialSize
is negativepublic void write(int c)
Write a single character.
public void write(char[] cbuf, int off, int len)
Write a portion of an array of characters.

- Number of characters to writepublic void write(String str)
Write a string.
public void write(String str, int off, int len)
Write a portion of a string.

- Number of characters to writepublic StringWriter append(CharSequence csq)
Appends the specified character sequence to this writer.
An invocation of this method of the form out.append(csq)
behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation
out.write(csq.toString())
Depending on the specification of toString
for the character sequence csq
, the entire sequence may not be appended. For instance, invoking the toString
method of a character buffer will return a subsequence whose content depends upon the buffer's position and limit.

csq
- The character sequence to append. If csq
is null
, then the four characters "null"
are appended to this writer.public StringWriter append(CharSequence csq, int start, int end)
Appends a subsequence of the specified character sequence to this writer.
An invocation of this method of the form out.append(csq, start, end)
when csq
is not null
, behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation
out.write(csq.subSequence(start, end).toString())

csq
- The character sequence from which a subsequence will be appended. If csq
is null
, then characters will be appended as if csq
contained the four characters "null"
.start
- The index of the first character in the subsequenceend
- The index of the character following the last character in the subsequenceIndexOutOfBoundsException
- If start
or end
are negative, start
is greater than end
, or end
is greater than csq.length()
public StringWriter append(char c)
Appends the specified character to this writer.
An invocation of this method of the form out.append(c)
behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation
out.write(c)

- The 16-bit character to appendpublic String toString()
Return the buffer's current value as a string.
public StringBuffer getBuffer()
Return the string buffer itself.
public void flush()
Flush the stream.
public void close() throws IOException
Closing a StringWriter
has no effect. The methods in this class can be called after the stream has been closed without generating an IOException
.
