In general terms, an input stream reader in Java is a program or class used to read an input stream as a sequence of characters (as opposed to bytes). A stream is an I/O connection to an external resource such as a file, socket or URL, that exchanges bytes with that resource. "Input" refers to the fact that the information flows from the external resource into the program. A reader translates a byte sequence into characters (more precisely, Unicode code points) according a particular encoding. Specifically, the class java.io.InputStreamReader is a reader that can convert any instantiated input stream into characters according to a particular encoding.
