public abstract class CharBuffer
extends Buffer
implements Comparable CharBuffer, Appendable, CharSequence, Readable
A character buffer.

This class defines four categories of operations upon character buffers:

Absolute and relative get and put methods that read and write single characters;

Relative bulk get methods that transfer contiguous sequences of characters from this buffer into an array; and

Relative bulk put methods that transfer contiguous sequences of characters from a character array, a string, or some other character buffer into this buffer; and

Methods for compacting, duplicating, and slicing a character buffer.

Character buffers can be created either by allocation, which allocates space for the buffer's content, by wrapping an existing character array or string into a buffer, or by creating a view of an existing byte buffer.

Like a byte buffer, a character buffer is either direct or non-direct. A character buffer created via the wrap methods of this class will be non-direct. A character buffer created as a view of a byte buffer will be direct if, and only if, the byte buffer itself is direct. Whether or not a character buffer is direct may be determined by invoking the isDirect method.

This class implements the CharSequence interface so that character buffers may be used wherever character sequences are accepted, for example in the regular-expression package java.util.regex.

Methods in this class that do not otherwise have a value to return are specified to return the buffer upon which they are invoked. This allows method invocations to be chained. The sequence of statements
