Constructor Detail

### StringInputStream

    public StringInputStream(java.lang.String source)

  Composes a stream from a String

Parameters:
  `source` - The string to read from. Must not be `null`.

Method Detail

### read

    public int read()
             throws java.io.IOException

  Reads from the Stringreader, returning the same value. Note that data will be lost for characters not in ISO Latin 1. Clients assuming a return value in the range -1 to 255 may even fail on such input.

  Returns:
    the value of the next character in the StringReader
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if the original StringReader fails to be read

### close

    public void close()
               throws java.io.IOException

  Closes the Stringreader.

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if the original StringReader fails to be closed

### mark

    public void mark(int limit)

  Marks the read limit of the StringReader.

  Parameters:
    `limit` - the maximum limit of bytes that can be read before the mark position becomes invalid

### reset

    public void reset()
               throws java.io.IOException

  Resets the StringReader.

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if the StringReader fails to be reset

### markSupported

    public boolean markSupported()
