Filter object

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In object-oriented programming, a filter object is an object which receives a stream of data as its input and produces the stream of data as its output based on the data from input stream. So a filter object filters an input data transforming it into output data.

Often the input and output streams are streams of characters, but these also may be streams of arbitrary objects.
