technical sophistication and the adult tone of his interlocutor's conversation, he claimed that he believed her to be an adult woman playing the
role of a teenage girl; which, indeed, she was, although for different reasons from those Naughton claimed to have believed."
New I/O
New I/O or Non-blocking I/O, usually called NIO, is a collection of Java programming language APIs that offer
features for intensive I/O operations. It was introduced with the J2SE 1.4 release of Java by Sun Microsystems to
complement an existing standard I/O. NIO was developed under the Java Community Process as JSR 51. [1] As of
2006, an extension to NIO, called NIO2, is being developed under JSR 203; JSR 203 is scheduled to be included in
Java SE 7 ("Dolphin"). [2]
Features and organization.
The APIs of NIO were designed to provide access to the low-level I/O operations of modern operating systems.
Although the APIs are themselves relatively high-level, the intent is to facilitate an implementation that can directly
use the most efficient operations of the underlying platform.
The Java NIO APIs are provided in the java.nio package and its subpackages. The documentation by Sun
Microsystems identifies these features.
• Buffers for data of primitive types
• Character set encoders and decoders
• A pattern-matching facility based on Perl-style regular expressions (in package java.util.regex)
• Channels, a new primitive I/O abstraction
• A file interface that supports locks and memory mapping of files up to Integer.MAX_VALUE bytes (2 GiB)
• A multiplexed, non-blocking I/O facility for writing scalable servers
