FileReader

public class FileReader
extends InputStreamReader

java.lang.Object
   ↳ java.io.Reader
     ↳ java.io.InputStreamReader
       ↳ java.io.FileReader


Convenience class for reading character files. The constructors of this class assume that the default character encoding and the default byte-buffer size are appropriate. To specify these values yourself, construct an InputStreamReader on a FileInputStream.

FileReader is meant for reading streams of characters. For reading streams of raw bytes, consider using a FileInputStream.
