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 charset used to decode the input stream; see Charsets for helpful predefined constants

Returns:

the factory

asCharSource

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 charset used to decode the input stream; see Charsets for helpful predefined constants

Returns:

a string containing all the characters from the URL

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

readLines

public static <T> T readLines(URL url,
              Charset charset,
              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

charset - the charset used to decode the input stream; see Charsets for helpful predefined constants

callback - the LineProcessor to use to handle the lines

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

Reads all of the lines from a URL. The lines do not include line-termination characters, but do include other leading and trailing whitespace.

Parameters:

url - the URL to read from

charset - the charset used to decode the input stream; see Charsets for helpful predefined constants

Returns:

a mutable List containing all the lines

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

copy

public static void copy(URL from,
        OutputStream to)
                 throws IOException

getResource

public static URL getResource(Class<?> contextClass,
              String resourceName)

Returns a URL pointing to resourceName that is relative to contextClass, if the resource is found in the class path.
