Readers and Writers

• Java's InputStreamReader and OutputStreamWriter classes are very helpful

  URL u = new URL(
   "http://www.ascc.net/xml/test/wfdtd/utf-8/application_xml/zh-utf8-8.xml");
  InputStream in = u.openStream();
  InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(in, "UTF-8");
  int c;
  while ((c = in.read()) != -1) System.out.write(c);
