java.nio

Packages that use java.nio
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.nio Defines buffers, which are containers for data, and provides an overview of the other NIO packages. 
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.charset Defines charsets, decoders, and encoders, for translating between bytes and Unicode characters. 
java.nio.file.attribute Interfaces and classes providing access to file and file system attributes. 
java.security Provides the classes and interfaces for the security framework. 
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). 
javax.crypto Provides the classes and interfaces for cryptographic operations. 
javax.imageio.stream A package of the Java Image I/O API dealing with low-level I/O from files and streams. 
javax.net.ssl Provides classes for the secure socket package.
