I/O Library
Last updated
What is I/O Library?
Kotlin leverages both its own kotlin.io package and the standard Java java.io package for input and output operations. kotlin.io provides a set of extension functions and utilities that simplify common I/O tasks, offering a more Kotlin-idiomatic way to interact with files, streams, and the console. While kotlin.io offers convenient abstractions, java.io remains fully accessible and usable within Kotlin code, providing a broader range of classes and functionalities for more complex I/O scenarios.
