Java NIO Channel
Java NIO Channels are similar to streams with a few differences:
- You can both read and write to a Channels. Streams are typically one-way (read or write).
- Channels can be read and written asynchronously.
- Channels always read to, or write from, a Buffer.
As mentioned above, you read data from a channel into a buffer, and write data from a buffer into a channel. Here is an illustration of that:

Channel Implementations
Here are the most important Channel implementations in Java NIO:
- FileChannel
- DatagramChannel
- SocketChannel
- ServerSocketChannel
The FileChannel
reads data from and to files.
The DatagramChannel
can read and write data over the network via UDP.
The SocketChannel
can read and write data over the network via TCP.
The ServerSocketChannel
allows you to listen for incoming TCP connections, like a web server does. For each incoming connection a SocketChannel
is created.
Basic Channel Example
Here is a basic example that uses a FileChannel
to read some data into a Buffer
:
RandomAccessFile aFile = new RandomAccessFile("data/nio-data.txt", "rw"); FileChannel inChannel = aFile.getChannel(); ByteBuffer buf = ByteBuffer.allocate(48); int bytesRead = inChannel.read(buf); while (bytesRead != -1) { System.out.println("Read " + bytesRead); buf.flip(); while(buf.hasRemaining()){ System.out.print((char) buf.get()); } buf.clear(); bytesRead = inChannel.read(buf); } aFile.close();
Notice the buf.flip()
call. First you read into a Buffer. Then you flip it. Then you read out of it. I‘ll get into more detail about that in the next text about Buffer
‘s.
