    public class ByteArrayOutputStream

extends OutputStream

This class implements an output stream in which the data is written into a byte array. The buffer automatically grows as data is written to it.

The data can be retrieved using `toByteArray()` and `toString()`.

Closing a `ByteArrayOutputStream` has no effect. The methods in this class can be called after the stream has been closed without generating an `IOException`.

This is an alternative implementation of the java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream class. The original implementation only allocates 32 bytes at the beginning. As this class is designed for heavy duty it starts at 1024 bytes. In contrast to the original it doesn't reallocate the whole memory block but allocates additional buffers. This way no buffers need to be garbage collected and the contents don't have to be copied to the new buffer. This class is designed to behave exactly like the original. The only exception is the deprecated toString(int) method that has been ignored.

Constructor Detail

### ByteArrayOutputStream

    public ByteArrayOutputStream()

  Creates a new byte array output stream. The buffer capacity is initially 1024 bytes, though its size increases if necessary.

### ByteArrayOutputStream

    public ByteArrayOutputStream(int size)

  Creates a new byte array output stream, with a buffer capacity of the specified size, in bytes.

  Parameters:
    `size` - the initial size
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if size is negative

Method Detail

### write

    public void write(byte[] b,
                      int off,
                      int len)

  Write the bytes to byte array.

  Overrides:
    `write` in class `OutputStream`
  Parameters:
    `b` - the bytes to write
    `off` - The start offset
    `len` - The number of bytes to write

### write

    public void write(int b)

  Write a byte to byte array.

  Specified by:
    `write` in class `OutputStream`
  Parameters:
    `b` - the byte to write

### write

    public int write(InputStream in)
              throws IOException

  Writes the entire contents of the specified input stream to this byte stream. Bytes from the input stream are read directly into the internal buffers of this streams.

  Parameters:
    `in` - the input stream to read from
  Returns:
    total number of bytes read from the input stream (and written to this stream)
  Throws:
    `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs while reading the input stream
  Since:
    Commons IO 1.4

### size

    public int size()

  Return the current size of the byte array.

  Returns:
    the current size of the byte array

### close

    public void close()
               throws IOException

  Closing a `ByteArrayOutputStream` has no effect. The methods in this class can be called after the stream has been closed without generating an `IOException`.

  Specified by:
    `close` in interface `Closeable`
  Overrides:
    `close` in class `OutputStream`
  Throws:
    `IOException` - never (this method should not declare this exception but it has to now due to backwards compatability)

### reset

    public void reset()

  See Also:
    `ByteArrayOutputStream.reset()`

### writeTo

    public void writeTo(OutputStream out)
                 throws IOException

  Writes the entire contents of this byte stream to the specified output stream.

  Parameters:
    `out` - the output stream to write to
  Throws:
    `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs, such as if the stream is closed
  See Also:
    `ByteArrayOutputStream.writeTo(OutputStream)`

### toByteArray

    public byte[] toByteArray()

  Gets the curent contents of this byte stream as a byte array. The result is independent of this stream.

  Returns:
    the current contents of this output stream, as a byte array
  See Also:
    `ByteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray()`

### toString

    public String toString()

  Gets the curent contents of this byte stream as a string.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `Object`
  Returns:
    the contents of the byte array as a String
  See Also:
    `ByteArrayOutputStream.toString()`

### toString

    public String toString(String enc)
                    throws UnsupportedEncodingException

  Gets the curent contents of this byte stream as a string using the specified encoding.

  Parameters:
    `enc` - the name of the character encoding
  Returns:
    the string converted from the byte array
  Throws:
    `UnsupportedEncodingException` - if the encoding is not supported
  See Also:
    `ByteArrayOutputStream.toString(String)`
