Thread: Sharing my ByteStream, feel free to improve!

Hi guys,

I wrote this a few days ago for my MMORPG.
You can read and write Strings, etc in a Input- or OutputStream with bytes.

package com.verficon.io;
 
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
 
public class ByteStream {
	private byte[] buffer;
	private int pos;
 
	public static ByteStream create() {
		final ByteStream s = new ByteStream();
		s.buffer = new byte[1024];
		return s;
	}
 
	public boolean readBuffer(final InputStream is) throws IOException {
		return is.read(buffer) != -1;
	}
 
	public byte readByte() {
		checkBuffer();
		return buffer[pos++];
	}
 
	public void writeByte(final byte b) {
		checkBuffer();
		buffer[pos++] = b;
	}
 
	private void checkBuffer() {
		if (pos >= buffer.length)
			pos = 0;
	}
 
	public String readString() {
		final byte length = readByte();
		final byte[] b = new byte[length];
		for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
			b[i] = readByte();
		}
		return new String(b);
	}
 
	public void writeString(final String s) {
		final byte[] b = s.getBytes();
		writeByte((byte) b.length);
		for (int i = 0; i < b.length; i++) {
			writeByte(b[i]);
		}
	}
 
	public void flushBuffer(final OutputStream os) throws IOException {
		os.write(buffer);
		buffer = new byte[1024];
	}
}

Hello Verficon.

It would be good if you could comment this and write up exactly what it does.
