public final class CharStreams
extends java.lang.Object

Provides utility methods for working with character streams.

All method parameters must be non-null unless documented otherwise.

Some of the methods in this class take arguments with a generic type of Readable & Closeable. A Reader implements both of those interfaces. Similarly for Appendable & Closeable and Writer.
