  - ### Uses of InputStream in java.io

    Subclasses of InputStream in java.io
    Modifier and Type | Class | Description
    --- | --- | ---
    `class` | `BufferedInputStream` A `BufferedInputStream` adds functionality to another input stream-namely, the ability to buffer the input and to support the `mark` and `reset` methods.
    `class` | `ByteArrayInputStream` A `ByteArrayInputStream` contains an internal buffer that contains bytes that may be read from the stream.
    `class` | `DataInputStream` A data input stream lets an application read primitive Java data types from an underlying input stream in a machine-independent way.
    `class` | `FileInputStream` A `FileInputStream` obtains input bytes from a file in a file system.
    `class` | `FilterInputStream` A `FilterInputStream` contains some other input stream, which it uses as its basic source of data, possibly transforming the data along the way or providing additional functionality.
    `class` | `LineNumberInputStream` Deprecated. This class incorrectly assumes that bytes adequately represent characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to operate on character streams is via the new character-stream classes, which include a class for counting line numbers.
    `class` | `ObjectInputStream` An ObjectInputStream deserializes primitive data and objects previously written using an ObjectOutputStream.
    `class` | `PipedInputStream` A piped input stream should be connected to a piped output stream; the piped input stream then provides whatever data bytes are written to the piped output stream.
    `class` | `PushbackInputStream` A `PushbackInputStream` adds functionality to another input stream, namely the ability to "push back" or "unread" one byte.
    `class` | `SequenceInputStream` A `SequenceInputStream` represents the logical concatenation of other input streams.
    `class` | `StringBufferInputStream` Deprecated. This class does not properly convert characters into bytes. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to create a stream from a string is via the `StringReader` class.

    `SequenceInputStream(InputStream s1, InputStream s2)` Initializes a newly created `SequenceInputStream` by remembering the two arguments, which will be read in order, first `s1` and then `s2`, to provide the bytes to be read from this `SequenceInputStream`.
    > `StreamTokenizer(InputStream is)` Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, the preferred way to tokenize an input stream is to convert it into a character stream, for example:
    >        Reader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
    >        StreamTokenizer st = new StreamTokenizer(r);
