Streams

Mozilla provides a number of stream interfaces which can be used for different purposes. The base interfaces nsIInputStream and nsIOutputStream provide methods for reading and writing respectively. Some components may support input only, output only or both input and output.

You can create a buffered reader or writer out of any other existing stream using nsIBufferedInputStream and nsIBufferedOutputStream. You can observe reading and writing to a stream using nsIObservableInputStream or nsIObservableOutputStream.

From script, you can use nsIScriptableInputStream to read from a stream. This interface will return strings.
