## Class AbstractOrigin<T,B extends AbstractOrigin<T,B>>

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.io.build.AbstractSupplier<T,B>
  - - org.apache.commons.io.build.AbstractOrigin<T,B>

- Type Parameters:
    `T` - the type of instances to build.
    `B` - the type of builder subclass.
  All Implemented Interfaces:
    IOSupplier<T>
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    AbstractOrigin.ByteArrayOrigin, AbstractOrigin.FileOrigin, AbstractOrigin.InputStreamOrigin, AbstractOrigin.OutputStreamOrigin, AbstractOrigin.PathOrigin, AbstractOrigin.ReaderOrigin, AbstractOrigin.URIOrigin, AbstractOrigin.WriterOrigin

      public abstract class AbstractOrigin<T,B extends AbstractOrigin<T,B>>
      extends AbstractSupplier<T,B>

  Abstracts the origin of data for builders like a `File`, `Path`, `Reader`, `Writer`, `InputStream`, `OutputStream`, and `URI`.

  Some methods may throw `UnsupportedOperationException` if that method is not implemented in a concrete subclass, see `getFile()` and `getPath()`.

  Since:
    2.12.0
