@section overview_stream_intro Introduction
wxWidgets provides its own set of stream classes in order to be
independent of the standard C++ stream class and their different
implementations.
@subsection overview_stream_intro_std wxWidgets and Standard Streams
Besides, using @c std::iostream on Linux makes impossible to write programs that are
binary compatible across different Linux distributions.
wxWidgets provides its own set of stream classes in order to support platforms
not providing standard C++ streams implementation and also to make it possible
to provide binary versions of wxWidgets application not depending on any
particular standard library version. The wxWidgets stream classes also provide
some functionality not available in the standard library such as support for
several compression formats and possibility to work with sockets or text
controls (for output only in the latter case).
Therefore, wxStreams have been added to wxWidgets so that an applications can
reliably compile and run on all supported platforms without dependence on a
particular release of libg++.
Nevertheless wxWidgets programs can also use standard stream classes and are
encouraged to do so if the above considerations don't apply. Moreover,
wxStdInputStream and wxStdOutputStream classes are provided to provide a degree
of interoperability between the two and make it possible to use any wxWidgets
stream as a standard stream (the converse possibility to use a standard stream
as a wxWidgets stream is planned for a future release).
@subsection overview_stream_intro_overview Stream Classes
wxStream classes are divided in two main groups:
