How to write to file in Java – BufferedWriter

In Java, BufferedWriter is a character streams class to handle the character data. Unlike bytes stream (convert data into bytes), you can just write the strings, arrays or characters data directly to file.

package com.example;

import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;

public class WriteToFileExample {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  try {

   String content = "This is the content to write into file";

   File file = new File("/users/mkyong/filename.txt");

   // if file doesnt exists, then create it
   if (!file.exists()) {
    file.createNewFile();
   }

   FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file.getAbsoluteFile());
   BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);
   bw.write(content);
   bw.close();

   System.out.println("Done");

  } catch (IOException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
  }
 }
}
