An OutputStreamWriter is a bridge from character streams to byte streams: Characters written to it are encoded into bytes using a specified java.nio.charset.Charset. The charset that it uses may be specified by name or may be given explicitly, or the platform's default charset may be accepted.

Each invocation of a write() method causes the encoding converter to be invoked on the given character(s). The resulting bytes are accumulated in a buffer before being written to the underlying output stream. The size of this buffer may be specified, but by default it is large enough for most purposes. Note that the characters passed to the write() methods are not buffered.

For top efficiency, consider wrapping an OutputStreamWriter within a BufferedWriter so as to avoid frequent converter invocations. For example:

 Writer out
   = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(System.out));
 

A surrogate pair is a character represented by a sequence of two char values: A high surrogate in the range '\uD800' to '\uDBFF' followed by a low surrogate in the range '\uDC00' to '\uDFFF'.

A malformed surrogate element is a high surrogate that is not followed by a low surrogate or a low surrogate that is not preceded by a high surrogate.

This class always replaces malformed surrogate elements and unmappable character sequences with the charset's default substitution sequence. The java.nio.charset.CharsetEncoder class should be used when more control over the encoding process is required.

 public class OutputStreamWriter extends Writer {
 
     private final StreamEncoder se;

    
Creates an OutputStreamWriter that uses the named charset.

Parameters:
out An OutputStream
charsetName The name of a supported charset
Throws:
UnsupportedEncodingException If the named encoding is not supported
 
     public OutputStreamWriter(OutputStream outString charsetName)
         throws UnsupportedEncodingException
     {
         super(out);
         if (charsetName == null)
             throw new NullPointerException("charsetName");
         = StreamEncoder.forOutputStreamWriter(outthischarsetName);
    }

    
Creates an OutputStreamWriter that uses the default character encoding.

Parameters:
out An OutputStream
    public OutputStreamWriter(OutputStream out) {
        super(out);
        try {
             = StreamEncoder.forOutputStreamWriter(outthis, (String)null);
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            throw new Error(e);
        }
    }

    
Creates an OutputStreamWriter that uses the given charset.

Parameters:
out An OutputStream
cs A charset
Since:
1.4
Spec:
JSR-51
    public OutputStreamWriter(OutputStream outCharset cs) {
        super(out);
        if (cs == null)
            throw new NullPointerException("charset");
         = StreamEncoder.forOutputStreamWriter(outthiscs);
    }

    
Creates an OutputStreamWriter that uses the given charset encoder.

Parameters:
out An OutputStream
enc A charset encoder
Since:
1.4
Spec:
JSR-51
    public OutputStreamWriter(OutputStream outCharsetEncoder enc) {
        super(out);
        if (enc == null)
            throw new NullPointerException("charset encoder");
         = StreamEncoder.forOutputStreamWriter(outthisenc);
    }

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

If the encoding has an historical name then that name is returned; otherwise the encoding's canonical name is returned.

If this instance was created with the OutputStreamWriter(java.io.OutputStream,java.lang.String) constructor then the returned name, being unique for the encoding, may differ from the name passed to the constructor. This method may return null if the stream has been closed.

Returns:
The historical name of this encoding, or possibly null if the stream has been closed

java.nio.charset.Charset
Revised:
1.4
Spec:
JSR-51
    public String getEncoding() {
        return .getEncoding();
    }

    
Flushes the output buffer to the underlying byte stream, without flushing the byte stream itself. This method is non-private only so that it may be invoked by PrintStream.
    void flushBuffer() throws IOException {
        .flushBuffer();
    }

    
Writes a single character.

Throws:
IOException If an I/O error occurs
    public void write(int cthrows IOException {
        .write(c);
    }

    
Writes a portion of an array of characters.

Parameters:
cbuf Buffer of characters
off Offset from which to start writing characters
len Number of characters to write
Throws:
IOException If an I/O error occurs
    public void write(char cbuf[], int offint lenthrows IOException {
        .write(cbufofflen);
    }

    
Writes a portion of a string.

Parameters:
str A String
off Offset from which to start writing characters
len Number of characters to write
Throws:
IOException If an I/O error occurs
    public void write(String strint offint lenthrows IOException {
        .write(strofflen);
    }

    
Flushes the stream.

Throws:
IOException If an I/O error occurs
    public void flush() throws IOException {
        .flush();
    }
    public void close() throws IOException {
        .close();
    }
