Java.io.OutputStreamWriter Class

In Java, OutputStreamWriter class connects character streams to byte streams. It encodes Characters into bytes using a specified charset. 

Declaration of Java OutputStreamWriter Class 

public class OutputStreamWriter
 extends Writer

Constructors of OutputStreamWriter Class in Java

Constructors in OutputStreamWriter are mentioned below:

• OutputStreamWriter(OutputStream geek_out) : Creates a "geek_out" OutputStreamWriter that uses 
  default charset for encoding.
• OutputStreamWriter(OutputStream geek_out, Charset geek_set): Creates a "geek_out" OutputStreamWriterthat uses a "geek_ set" charset for encoding.
• OutputStreamWriter(OutputStream geek_out, CharsetEncoder encode): Creates a "geek_out" OutputStreamWriter that uses a given encoder.
• OutputStreamWriter(OutputStream geek_out, String setName): Creates a "geek_out" OutputStreamWriter that uses a named character set.

Methods of OutputStreamWriter Class in Java

1. flush() : 

java.io.OutputStreamWriter.flush() flushes the stream. 

Syntax : public void flush()

Parameters : 
------

Return : 
void

Exception : 
-> IOException : if in case anu I/O error occurs.

2. close() : 

java.io.OutputStreamWriter.close() closes the flushed stream. 

Syntax : public void close()

Parameters : 
------

Return : 
void

Exception : 
-> IOException : if in case anu I/O error occurs, e.g writing after closing the stream

3. write(int char) :

java.io.OutputStreamWriter.write(int char) writes a single character. 

Syntax : public void write(int char)

Parameters : 
char : character to be written

Return : 
void

Example:

Output : 

write(int char) : G
write(int char) : E
write(int char) : E
write(int char) : K
write(int char) : S

4. write(String geek, int offset, int strlen) :

java.io.OutputStreamWriter.write(String geek, int offset, int strlen) writes a portion of the "geek" string starting from "offset position" upto "strlen" length. 

Syntax :public void write(String geek, int offset, int strlen)

Parameters : 
geek : string whose portion is to be written 
offset : starting position from where to write
strlen : length upto which we need to write

Return : 
void

Exception : 
-> IOException : if in case any I/O error occurs.

Example:

Output : 

write(int char) : S
write(int char) : F
write(int char) : o
write(int char) : r
write(int char) : G

5. write(char[] geek, int offset, int strlen) :

java.io.OutputStreamWriter.write(char[] geek, int offset, int strlen) writes a portion of the "geek" character array starting from "offset position" upto "strlen" length. 

Syntax : public void write(char[] geek, int offset, int strlen)

Parameters : 
geek : character array whose portion is to be written 
offset : starting position from where to write
strlen : length upto which we need to write

Return : 
void

Exception : 
-> IOException : if in case anu I/O error occurs.

6. getEncoding() :

java.io.OutputStreamWriter.getEncoding() tells the name of the character encoding being used in the mentioned Stream. 
If there is predefined name exists, then it is returned otherwise the canonical name of the encoding is returned. 
Returns Null, if the stream has been already closed. 

Syntax : public String getEncoding()

Parameters : 
------

Return : 
Name of the charset encoding used

Exception : 
-> IOException : if in case anu I/O error occurs.

Output : 

char[] geek, int offset, int strlen) : G
char[] geek, int offset, int strlen) : E
char[] geek, int offset, int strlen) : E
Name of the charset : UTF8
