  public class FileReader
  extends InputStreamReader

  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.

  Since:

  JDK1.1
