Files (Java SE 22 & JDK 22) with Examples.
You will find code examples on most Files methods.
Summary
This class consists exclusively of static methods that operate on files, directories, or other types of files.
final var path = Path.of("D:", "java-work", "aaa.txt");
System.out.println(path); // D:\java-work\aaa.txt
System.out.println(Files.notExists(path)); // true
// --- PowerShell ---
//PS D:\java-work> ls
//<No files / directories>
Files.writeString(path, "abcd");
System.out.println(Files.exists(path)); // true
System.out.println(Files.readString(path)); // abcd
// --- PowerShell ---
//PS D:\java-work> ls
//...
//Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
//---- ------------- ------ ----
//-a--- 2024/10/19 15:48 4 aaa.txt
Files.delete(path);
System.out.println(Files.notExists(path)); // true

//PS D:\java-work> ls
//<No files / directories>
Annotation :
- Most of the code examples in this article are run on Windows.
- Some of the code examples are run on Linux for POSIX.
