input - Why Use java.io.Console?

Question

Just a quick one here.

What are the benefits of using java.io.Console as opposed to using a BufferedReader wrapping an InputStreamReader for System.in?

Why would I use it?

Thanks for any advice!

Answer 1

Because it's code that is already written for you...no need to re-invent the wheel. Chances are, you're not going to get it any better than it already is.
