Java NIO channels are similar to streams, but are somewhat different:

You can both read data from the channel and write data to the channel. But reading and writing streams are usually one-way.
Channels can be read and written asynchronously.
The data in the channel must first be read into a Buffer, or always written from a Buffer.

As mentioned above, data is read from the channel to the buffer and data is written from the buffer to the channel. As shown in the figure below:

Channel implementation

These are the implementations of the most important channels in Java NIO:

FileChannel
DatagramChannel
SocketChannel
ServerSocketChannel

FileChannel reads and writes data from files.

DatagramChannel can read and write data in the network through UDP.

SocketChannel can read and write data in the network through TCP.

ServerSocketChannel can monitor new incoming TCP connections, like a web server. A SocketChannel is created for each new incoming connection.

Basic Channel Example

The following is an example of using FileChannel to read data into a Buffer:

RandomAccessFile aFile = new RandomAccessFile("data/nio-data.txt", "rw");
FileChannel inChannel = aFile.getChannel();

ByteBuffer buf = ByteBuffer.allocate(48);

int bytesRead = inChannel.read(buf);
while (bytesRead != -1) {

System.out.println("Read " + bytesRead);
buf.flip();

while(buf.hasRemaining()){
System.out.print((char) buf.get());
}

buf.clear();
bytesRead = inChannel.read(buf);
}
aFile.close();

Copy after login

Pay attention to the call of buf.flip(), read the data first to the Buffer, then reverse the Buffer, and then read data from the Buffer. The next section will go into more details about Buffer.
