A dependency-free, pragmatic thin Scala wrapper around Java NIO for simple, safe, and intuitive file I/O. It provides fluent APIs for reading, writing, streaming, gzip compression, and file watching with correct resource management.
Use cases
- read and write files in scala
- process large files without loading into memory
- list and filter files in a directory
- gzip files in scala
- watch directories for file changes
- split large csv files into smaller parts
When to choose
- you write Scala and want ergonomic file I/O without boilerplate
- you need safe resource management for streams and writers
- you want a dependency-free alternative to Java NIO's verbose API
When to avoid
- you are not on the JVM or not using Scala
- you need async or non-blocking I/O primitives
- you only need basic java.nio.file usage and don't mind verbosity
