4.6 Writing Stream Plug-ins

The standard classes in the javax.imageio.stream package are able to create ImageInputStreams and ImageOutputStreams that:

It is possible to write new implementations of ImageInputStream and InmageOutputStream that interface with other I/O primitives (for example, databases or future fast I/O interfaces). The ImageInputStreamImpl and ImageOutputStreamImpl classes provide a base for subclassing. Only a handful of methods are required to be implemented by the subclass, although it is possible to implement more for greater efficiency:
