Class CharSource

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    InputSupplier<java.io.Reader>

    public abstract class CharSource
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements InputSupplier<java.io.Reader>
    Deprecated.

    A readable source of characters, such as a text file. Unlike a Reader, a CharSource is not an open, stateful stream of characters that can be read and closed. Instead, it is an immutable supplier of Reader instances.

    CharSource provides two kinds of methods:

    • Methods that return a reader: These methods should return a new, independent instance each time they are called. The caller is responsible for ensuring that the returned reader is closed.
    • Convenience methods: These are implementations of common operations that are typically implemented by opening a reader using one of the methods in the first category, doing something and finally closing the reader that was opened.

    Several methods in this class, such as readLines(), break the contents of the source into lines. Like BufferedReader, these methods break lines on any of \n, \r or \r\n, do not include the line separator in each line and do not consider there to be an empty line at the end if the contents are terminated with a line separator.

    Any ByteSource containing text encoded with a specific character encoding may be viewed as a CharSource using ByteSource.asCharSource(Charset).

      • concat

        public static CharSource concat​(java.lang.Iterable<? extends CharSource> sources)
        Deprecated.
        Concatenates multiple CharSource instances into a single source. Streams returned from the source will contain the concatenated data from the streams of the underlying sources.

        Only one underlying stream will be open at a time. Closing the concatenated stream will close the open underlying stream.

        Parameters:
        sources - the sources to concatenate
        Returns:
        a CharSource containing the concatenated data
        Since:
        15.0
      • concat

        public static CharSource concat​(java.util.Iterator<? extends CharSource> sources)
        Deprecated.
        Concatenates multiple CharSource instances into a single source. Streams returned from the source will contain the concatenated data from the streams of the underlying sources.

        Only one underlying stream will be open at a time. Closing the concatenated stream will close the open underlying stream.

        Note: The input Iterator will be copied to an ImmutableList when this method is called. This will fail if the iterator is infinite and may cause problems if the iterator eagerly fetches data for each source when iterated (rather than producing sources that only load data through their streams). Prefer using the concat(Iterable) overload if possible.

        Parameters:
        sources - the sources to concatenate
        Returns:
        a CharSource containing the concatenated data
        Throws:
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if any of sources is null

        public static CharSource wrap​(java.lang.CharSequence charSequence)
        Deprecated.
        Returns a view of the given character sequence as a CharSource. The behavior of the returned CharSource and any Reader instances created by it is unspecified if the charSequence is mutated while it is being read, so don't do that.
