java.nio.channels

Packages that use java.nio.channels

Package	Description
java.io	Provides for system input and output through data streams, serialization and the file system.
java.lang	Provides classes that are fundamental to the design of the Java programming language.
java.net	Provides the classes for implementing networking applications.
java.nio.channels	Defines channels, which represent connections to entities that are capable of performing I/O operations, such as files and sockets; defines selectors, for multiplexed, non-blocking I/O operations.
java.nio.channels.spi	Service-provider classes for the java.nio.channels package.
java.nio.file	Defines interfaces and classes for the Java virtual machine to access files, file attributes, and file systems.
java.nio.file.spi	Service-provider classes for the java.nio.file package.
java.util	Contains the collections framework, legacy collection classes, event model, date and time facilities, internationalization, and miscellaneous utility classes (a string tokenizer, a random-number generator, and a bit array).
