newInputStreamSupplier

public static InputSupplier<InputStream> newInputStreamSupplier(URL url)
Returns a factory that will supply instances of InputStream that read from the given URL.

Parameters:
url - the URL to read from
Returns:
the factory

newReaderSupplier

public static InputSupplier<InputStreamReader> newReaderSupplier(URL url,
                                                                 Charset charset)
Returns a factory that will supply instances of InputStreamReader that read a URL using the given character set.

Parameters:
url - the URL to read from
charset - the character set used when reading the URL contents
Returns:
the factory

toByteArray

public static byte[] toByteArray(URL url)
                          throws IOException
Reads all bytes from a URL into a byte array.

Parameters:
url - the URL to read from
Returns:
a byte array containing all the bytes from the URL
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs

toString

public static String toString(URL url,
                              Charset charset)
                       throws IOException
Reads all characters from a URL into a String, using the given character set.

Parameters:
url - the URL to read from
charset - the character set used when reading the URL
Returns:
a string containing all the characters from the URL

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

readLines

public static <T> T readLines(URL url,

                              LineProcessor<T> callback)
                   throws IOException
Streams lines from a URL, stopping when our callback returns false, or we have read all of the lines.

Parameters:
url - the URL to read from

Returns:
the output of processing the lines
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs

readLines

public static List<String> readLines(URL url,
                                     Charset charset)
                              throws IOException

Parameters:
url - the URL to read from
charset - the character set used when writing the file
Returns:
a mutable List containing all the lines
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs
