Cross-platform IO library enabling seamless interaction with synchronous and asynchronous data through interfaces like AbsoluteReader, AbsoluteWriter, and Buffer for efficient data processing and streaming.
Surfaced from shared tags and platforms — no rankings paid for.
A Kotlin Multiplatform IO library that supports the JS (node only), JVM, and Native targets.

Kio allows you to interface with asynchronous and synchronous data.
For synchronous data, Kio provides the following interfaces:
AbsoluteReaderAbsoluteWriterSequentialReaderSequentialWriterA Buffer implements all of these interfaces and is very useful. It represents a sequence of bytes that can be indexed similar to a ByteArray however has the ability to grow along with the data you put into it. A Buffer keeps track of its current "read" and "write" heads, which lets you do sequential write/read operations.
For asynchronous data, Kio provides the following interfaces:
AsyncReaderAsyncWriterThese may be useful for streaming data (reading a large file), and you want to process it as you read the data. They provide similar functionality to the SequentialReader/Writer, and can often be used to replace Java Input/OutputStreams (see InputStream#toAsyncReader and OutputStream#toAsyngWriter).
