clojure.java.io contains a collection of functions to simplify the interaction with the Java Input/Output system (or simply IO). Over the years, Java evolved the original InputStream and OutputStream abstractions into Reader and Writer, eventually adding also asynchronous IO. During this transformation, Java put a lot of effort in maintaining backward compatibility, a principle also shared with Clojure. Unfortunately, there are now coexisting IO APIs that impact negatively on usability, forcing Java developers through bridges and adapters to move between different styles of IO.

The standard library is one of the most important tools to master a language. One aspect that characterizes the standard library is the fact that it’s already packaged with a language when you first experiment with it. Interestingly, it doesn’t get the amount of attention you’d expect for such an easy-to-reach tool. This article will show you how much wisdom and potential is hidden inside the Clojure standard library.
