object Using
A utility for performing automatic resource management. It can be used to perform an operation using resources, after which it releases the resources in reverse order of their creation.
Usage
There are multiple ways to automatically manage resources with Using
. If you only need
to manage a single resource, the apply
method is easiest; it wraps the
resource opening, operation, and resource releasing in a Try
.
Example:
val lines: Try[Seq[String]] = Using(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file.txt"))) { reader => Iterator.unfold(())(_ => Option(reader.readLine()).map(_ -> ())).toList }
If you need to manage multiple resources, Using.Manager
should
be used. It allows the managing of arbitrarily many resources, whose creation, use, and
release are all wrapped in a Try
.
Example:
val lines: Try[Seq[String]] = Using.Manager { use => val r1 = use(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file1.txt"))) val r2 = use(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file2.txt"))) val r3 = use(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file3.txt"))) val r4 = use(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file4.txt"))) // use your resources here def lines(reader: BufferedReader): Iterator[String] = Iterator.unfold(())(_ => Option(reader.readLine()).map(_ -> ())) (lines(r1) ++ lines(r2) ++ lines(r3) ++ lines(r4)).toList }
If you wish to avoid wrapping management and operations in a Try
, you can use
Using.resource
, which throws any exceptions that occur.
Example:
val lines: Seq[String] = Using.resource(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file.txt"))) { reader => Iterator.unfold(())(_ => Option(reader.readLine()).map(_ -> ())).toList }
Suppression Behavior
If two exceptions are thrown (e.g., by an operation and closing a resource),
one of them is re-thrown, and the other is
added to it as a suppressed exception.
If the two exceptions are of different 'severities' (see below), the one of a higher
severity is re-thrown, and the one of a lower severity is added to it as a suppressed
exception. If the two exceptions are of the same severity, the one thrown first is
re-thrown, and the one thrown second is added to it as a suppressed exception.
If an exception is a ControlThrowable
, or
if it does not support suppression (see
Throwable
's constructor with an enableSuppression
parameter),
an exception that would have been suppressed is instead discarded.
Exceptions are ranked from highest to lowest severity as follows:
java.lang.VirtualMachineError
java.lang.LinkageError
java.lang.InterruptedException
andjava.lang.ThreadDeath
- fatal exceptions, excluding
scala.util.control.ControlThrowable
scala.util.control.ControlThrowable
- all other exceptions
When more than two exceptions are thrown, the first two are combined and re-thrown as described above, and each successive exception thrown is combined as it is thrown.

A resource manager.
A resource manager.
Resources can be registered with the manager by calling
acquire
; such resources will be released in reverse order of their acquisition when the manager is closed, regardless of any exceptions thrown during use.See the main doc for
Using
for full details of suppression behavior.- Note
It is recommended for API designers to require an implicit
Manager
for the creation of custom resources, and to callacquire
during those resources' construction. Doing so guarantees that the resource must be automatically managed, and makes it impossible to forget to do so. Example:class SafeFileReader(file: File)(implicit manager: Using.Manager) extends BufferedReader(new FileReader(file)) { def this(fileName: String)(implicit manager: Using.Manager) = this(new File(fileName)) manager.acquire(this) }
- trait Releasable[-R] extends AnyRef
A typeclass describing how to release a particular type of resource.
A typeclass describing how to release a particular type of resource.
A resource is anything which needs to be released, closed, or otherwise cleaned up in some way after it is finished being used, and for which waiting for the object's garbage collection to be cleaned up would be unacceptable. For example, an instance of java.io.OutputStream would be considered a resource, because it is important to close the stream after it is finished being used.
An instance of
Releasable
is needed in order to automatically manage a resource withUsing
. An implicit instance is provided for all types extending java.lang.AutoCloseable.- R

- Regular expressionsOther packages exist. See the complete list on the right.
Additional parts of the standard library are shipped as separate libraries. These include:
scala.reflect

Identifiers in the scala package and the
scala.Predef
object are always in scope by default.Some of these identifiers are type aliases provided as shortcuts to commonly used classes. For example,
List
is an alias forscala.collection.immutable.List
.Other aliases refer to classes provided by the underlying platform. For example, on the JVM,
String
is an alias forjava.lang.String
.
