/**
 * General IO Stream manipulation.
 * <p>
 * This class provides static utility methods for input/output operations.
 * <ul>
 * <li>closeQuietly - these method closes any kind of closeable resource, e.g. an input/output
 * stream or reader/writer ignoring nulls and exceptions
 * <li>toXxx - these methods read data from a stream
 * <li>write - these methods write data to a stream
 * <li>copy - these methods copy all the data from one stream to another
 * <li>contentEquals - these methods compare the content of two streams
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * The byte-to-char methods and char-to-byte methods involve a conversion step. Two methods are
 * provided in each case, one that uses the platform default encoding and the other which allows you
 * to specify an encoding. You are encouraged to always specify an encoding because relying on the
 * platform default can lead to unexpected results, for example when moving from development to
 * production.
 * <p>
 * All the methods in this class that read a stream are buffered internally. This means that there
 * is no cause to use a <code>BufferedInputStream</code> or <code>BufferedReader</code>. The default
 * buffer size of 4K has been show to be efficient in tests.
 * <p>
 * Wherever possible, the methods in this class do <em>not</em> flush or close the stream. This is
 * to avoid making non-portable assumptions about the streams' origin and further use. Thus the
 * caller is still responsible for closing streams after use.
 * <p>
