## Uses of Interface
java.lang.Readable

Packages that use Readable
java.io | Provides for system input and output through data streams, serialization and the file system.
java.nio | Defines buffers, which are containers for data, and provides an overview of the other NIO packages.
java.util | Contains the collections framework, legacy collection classes, event model, date and time facilities, internationalization, and miscellaneous utility classes (a string tokenizer, a random-number generator, and a bit array).

Uses of Readable in java.io

Classes in java.io that implement Readable
`class` | `BufferedReader` Read text from a character-input stream, buffering characters so as to provide for the efficient reading of characters, arrays, and lines.
`class` | `CharArrayReader` This class implements a character buffer that can be used as a character-input stream.
`class` | `FileReader` Convenience class for reading character files.
`class` | `FilterReader` Abstract class for reading filtered character streams.
`class` | `InputStreamReader` An InputStreamReader is a bridge from byte streams to character streams: It reads bytes and decodes them into characters using a specified ``charset``.
`class` | `LineNumberReader` A buffered character-input stream that keeps track of line numbers.
`class` | `PipedReader` Piped character-input streams.
`class` | `PushbackReader` A character-stream reader that allows characters to be pushed back into the stream.
`class` | `Reader` Abstract class for reading character streams.
`class` | `StringReader` A character stream whose source is a string.
