Java Nio Scatter/Gather Example

Date: 2017-10-10

This article introduces Java NIO's scatter/gather I/O, a technique for efficiently reading from and writing to channels using multiple buffers. Scattering reads data from a channel into several buffers simultaneously, while gathering writes data from multiple buffers to a single channel. This is useful for separating data parts (e.g., message header and body) for easier processing. The article provides a basic example using buffers and illustrates the concepts with diagrams and code snippets. While it mentions a practical use case with headers and bodies, a complete example isn't provided.
