Java BufferedReader

🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)

BufferedReader never opens files directly — it always wraps a FileReader, which handles the actual file-opening while BufferedReader adds a memory buffer on top to make line-by-line reading (readLine()) fast for large files, a decorator-pattern relationship rather than a standalone class. [S1]

🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)

• BufferedReader — reads text line-by-line via readLine(); must be paired with FileReader (which opens the file). [S1]
• readLine() — returns null at end-of-file, used as the loop termination condition. [S1]
• Buffer for speed — the class uses an internal memory buffer to make reading faster than unbuffered access. [S1]
• Best use case — large text files, since it's faster and uses less memory than Scanner. [S1]

📖 세부 내용 (Details)

• Line-by-line read: try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("filename.txt"))) { String line; while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) { System.out.println(line); } } catch (IOException e) {...}. [S1]
• Class comparison: Scanner (simple text, split into lines/words/numbers), BufferedReader (large text files, faster, less memory, readLine()), FileInputStream (binary files). [S1]

💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)

Reading a file line by line with BufferedReader (Java):

try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("filename.txt"))) {
    String line;
    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
        System.out.println(line);
    }
} catch (IOException e) {
    System.out.println("Error reading file.");
}
