Use InputStreamFromOutputStream and OutputStreamToInputStream

If you want fixed memory footprint, speed and ease of use you can consider using the classes developed in this project (EasyStream):

  • These classes internally use pipes, they have a fixed memory footprint (don't fill up your memory with data).
  • Details of threads are hidden from the user. You don't have to deal with instantiation/start/synchronization/stop. Also exception handling and propagation is already taken care of.
  • You can easily choose between many [ExecutionModel options] for instantiating new Threads (thread pool, thread per instance ...) or just don't care and get the default.
  • Details of pipes are hidden. No PipedInputStream or PipedOutputStream in your code.
  • The internal pipe size can be adjusted to fit your needs.

So if you like this last approach you read the tutorial and see how to use these classes.
