Java : OutputStreamWriter with Examples

final var os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

try (final var writer = new OutputStreamWriter(os)) {
    writer.write("abcd");
}

System.out.println(os); // abcd
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(os.toByteArray())); // [97, 98, 99, 100]

final var os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

try (final var writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(os))) {
    writer.write("abcd");
    writer.newLine();
    writer.write("XYZ");
}

System.out.println(os);

// Result
// ↓
//abcd
//XYZ

• Java API Examples : Writer

OutputStreamWriter (OutputStream out)

Creates an OutputStreamWriter that uses the default character encoding, or where out is a PrintStream, the charset used by the print stream.

final var os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

try (final var writer = new OutputStreamWriter(os)) {
    writer.write("abcd");
}

System.out.println(os); // abcd
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(os.toByteArray())); // [97, 98, 99, 100]

OutputStreamWriter (OutputStream out, String charsetName)

Creates an OutputStreamWriter that uses the named charset.

final var sjis = "Shift_JIS";
final var os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

try (final var writer = new OutputStreamWriter(os, sjis)) {
    writer.write("○△×");
}

System.out.println(os.toString(sjis)); // ○△×

final var bytes = os.toByteArray();
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(bytes)); // [-127, -101, -127, -94, -127, 126]

OutputStreamWriter (OutputStream out, Charset cs)

Creates an OutputStreamWriter that uses the given charset.

final var sjis = Charset.forName("Shift_JIS");
final var os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

try (final var writer = new OutputStreamWriter(os, sjis)) {
    writer.write("○△×");
}

System.out.println(os.toString(sjis)); // ○△×

final var bytes = os.toByteArray();
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(bytes)); // [-127, -101, -127, -94, -127, 126]

OutputStreamWriter (OutputStream out, CharsetEncoder enc)

Creates an OutputStreamWriter that uses the given charset encoder.

final var sjis = Charset.forName("Shift_JIS");
final var os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

try (final var writer = new OutputStreamWriter(os, sjis.newEncoder())) {
    writer.write("○△×");
}

System.out.println(os.toString(sjis)); // ○△×

final var bytes = os.toByteArray();
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(bytes)); // [-127, -101, -127, -94, -127, 126]

void close ()

Closes the stream, flushing it first.

final var os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

try (final var writer = new OutputStreamWriter(os)) {
    writer.write("abcd");
}

System.out.println(os); // abcd
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(os.toByteArray())); // [97, 98, 99, 100]

// An example without a try-with-resources statement.
final var os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
final var writer = new OutputStreamWriter(os);
try {
    writer.write("abcd");
} finally {
    writer.close();
}

System.out.println(os); // abcd
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(os.toByteArray())); // [97, 98, 99, 100]

// Once the reader has been closed, write methods will throw an IOException. 
try {
    writer.write("XYZ");
} catch (IOException e) {
    System.out.println(e);

    // Result
    // ↓
    //java.io.IOException: Stream closed
}

void flush ()

Flushes the stream.

final var os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

try (final var writer = new OutputStreamWriter(os)) {
    writer.write("abcd");

    final var ret1 = os.toString();
    System.out.println(ret1.isEmpty()); // true

    writer.flush();

    final var ret2 = os.toString();
    System.out.println(ret2); // abcd

    writer.write("XYZ");

    final var ret3 = os.toString();
    System.out.println(ret3); // abcd
}

final var ret4 = os.toString();
System.out.println(ret4); // abcdXYZ

String getEncoding ()

Returns the name of the character encoding being used by this stream.

try (final var writer = new OutputStreamWriter(new ByteArrayOutputStream())) {
    final var ret = writer.getEncoding();
    System.out.println(ret); // UTF8
}

final var sjis = Charset.forName("Shift_JIS");

try (final var writer = new OutputStreamWriter(new ByteArrayOutputStream(), sjis)) {
    final var ret = writer.getEncoding();
    System.out.println(ret); // SJIS
}

void write (char[] cbuf, int off, int len)

Writes a portion of an array of characters.

final char[] cbuf = {'a', 'b', 'c', 'd'};

{
    final var os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    try (final var writer = new OutputStreamWriter(os)) {
        writer.write(cbuf, 0, 1);
    }
    System.out.println(os); // a
}
{
    final var os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    try (final var writer = new OutputStreamWriter(os)) {
        writer.write(cbuf, 0, 2);
