IO-Util API

Dealing with java.io is NOT an easy task. This package provides utilities that make it easier to deal with InputStreams, OutputStreams, Readers and Writers as well as handling encodings. If a method specifies that a stream is closed, this is guaranteed on success as well as in an exceptional state so your server-application does NOT run out of file-handles.
NOTE:
For high performance IO you should have a look at netty
ATTENTION:
The most types from this package have been moved from mmm-util-core (from 4.0.0 to 5.0.0) to mmm-util-io (1.0.0).
