What is ruby's StringIO class really?

2020-06-14 09:07发布

I think I understand StringIO somewhat as being similar to Java's StringBuffer class, but I don't really understand it fully. How would you define it and its purpose/possible uses in Ruby? Just hoping to clear up my confusion.

no, StringIO is more similar to StringReader/StringWriter than StringBuffer.

In Java StringBuffer is the mutable version of String (since String is immutable).

StringReader/StringWriter are handy classes meant to be used when you want to fake file access . You can read/write in a String with the same stream-oriented interface of Reader/Writer: it is immensely useful in unit testing.
