Uses of Class
java.io.InputStream

Packages that use InputStream
java.io Provides for system input and output through data streams, serialization and the file system. 
java.security Provides the classes and interfaces for the security framework. 
java.util.jar Provides classes for reading and writing the JAR (Java ARchive) file format, which is based on the standard ZIP file format with an optional manifest file. 
java.util.zip Provides classes for reading and writing the standard ZIP and GZIP file formats. 
javax.crypto Provides the classes and interfaces for cryptographic operations. 
javax.sound.sampled Provides interfaces and classes for capture, processing, and playback of sampled audio data. 
javax.swing Provides a set of "lightweight" (all-Java language) components that, to the maximum degree possible, work the same on all platforms. 
org.omg.CORBA.portable Provides a portability layer, that is, a set of ORB APIs that makes it possible for code generated by one vendor to run on another vendor's ORB. 
 

Uses of InputStream in java.io
 

Subclasses of InputStream in java.io
 class BufferedInputStream
          A BufferedInputStream adds functionality to another input stream-namely, the ability to buffer the input and to support the mark and reset methods.
 class ByteArrayInputStream
          A ByteArrayInputStream contains an internal buffer that contains bytes that may be read from the stream.
 class DataInputStream
          A data input stream lets an application read primitive Java data types from an underlying input stream in a machine-independent way.
 class FileInputStream
          A FileInputStream obtains input bytes from a file in a file system.
 class FilterInputStream
          A FilterInputStream contains some other input stream, which it uses as its basic source of data, possibly transforming the data along the way or providing additional functionality.
 class LineNumberInputStream
          Deprecated. This class incorrectly assumes that bytes adequately represent characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to operate on character streams is via the new character-stream classes, which include a class for counting line numbers.
 class ObjectInputStream
          An ObjectInputStream deserializes primitive data and objects previously written using an ObjectOutputStream.
 class PipedInputStream
          A piped input stream should be connected to a piped output stream; the piped input stream then provides whatever data bytes are written to the piped output stream.
 class PushbackInputStream
          A PushbackInputStream adds functionality to another input stream, namely the ability to "push back" or "unread" one byte.
 class SequenceInputStream
          A SequenceInputStream represents the logical concatenation of other input streams.
 class StringBufferInputStream
          Deprecated. This class does not properly convert characters into bytes. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to create a stream from a string is via the StringReader class.
 

Uses of InputStream in java.security
 

Subclasses of InputStream in java.security
 class DigestInputStream
          A transparent stream that updates the associated message digest using the bits going through the stream.
 

Uses of InputStream in java.util.jar
 

Subclasses of InputStream in java.util.jar
 class JarInputStream
          The JarInputStream class is used to read the contents of a JAR file from any input stream.
 

Uses of InputStream in java.util.zip
 

Subclasses of InputStream in java.util.zip
 class CheckedInputStream
          An input stream that also maintains a checksum of the data being read.
 class GZIPInputStream
          This class implements a stream filter for reading compressed data in the GZIP format.
 class InflaterInputStream
          This class implements a stream filter for uncompressing data in the "deflate" compression format.
 class ZipInputStream
          This class implements an input stream filter for reading files in the ZIP file format.
 

Uses of InputStream in javax.crypto
 

Subclasses of InputStream in javax.crypto
 class CipherInputStream
          A CipherInputStream is composed of an InputStream and a Cipher so that read() methods return data that are read in from the underlying InputStream but have been additionally processed by the Cipher.
 

Uses of InputStream in javax.sound.sampled
 

Subclasses of InputStream in javax.sound.sampled
 class AudioInputStream
          An audio input stream is an input stream with a specified audio format and length.
 

Uses of InputStream in javax.swing
 

Subclasses of InputStream in javax.swing
 class ProgressMonitorInputStream
          Monitors the progress of reading from some InputStream.
 

Uses of InputStream in org.omg.CORBA.portable
 

Subclasses of InputStream in org.omg.CORBA.portable
 class InputStream
          InputStream is the Java API for reading IDL types from CDR marshal streams.
