Interface Summary
ContentHandlerFactory	This interface maps MIME types to ContentHandler objects.
DatagramSocketImplFactory	This interface defines one method which returns a DatagramSocketImpl object.
FileNameMap	This interface has one method which, when passed a filename, returns the MIME type associated with that filename.
SocketImplFactory	This interface defines one method which returns a SocketImpl object.
SocketOptions	This interface is used by SocketImpl and DatagramSocketImpl to implement options on sockets.
URLStreamHandlerFactory	This interface contains one method which maps the protocol portion of a URL (eg, "http" in "http://www.urbanophile.com/arenn/") to a URLStreamHandler object.

Class Summary
Authenticator	This abstract class provides a model for obtaining authentication information (in the form of a username and password) required by some network operations (such as hitting a password protected web site).
ContentHandler	This is an abstract class that is the superclass for classes that read objects from URL's.
DatagramPacket	This class models a packet of data that is to be sent across the network using a connectionless protocol such as UDP.
DatagramSocket	This class models a connectionless datagram socket that sends individual packets of data across the network.
DatagramSocketImpl	This abstract class models a datagram socket implementation.
HttpURLConnection	This class provides a common abstract implementation for those URL connection classes that will connect using the HTTP protocol.
Inet4Address
Inet6Address
InetAddress	This class models an Internet address.
InetSocketAddress	InetSocketAddress instances represent socket addresses in the java.nio package.
JarURLConnection	This abstract class represents a common superclass for implementations of jar URL's.
MulticastSocket	This class models a multicast UDP socket.
NetPermission	This class is used to model miscellaneous network permissions.
NetworkInterface	This class models a network interface on the host computer.
PasswordAuthentication	This class serves a container for username/password pairs.
Proxy	Defines a proxy setting.
Proxy.Type	Represents the proxy type.
ProxySelector	Class for handling proxies for different connections.
ServerSocket	This class models server side sockets.
Socket	This class models a client site socket.
SocketAddress	Abstract base class for InetSocketAddress.
SocketImpl	This abstract class serves as the parent class for socket implementations.
SocketPermission	This class models a specific set of permssions for connecting to a host.
URI	A URI instance represents that defined by RFC3986, with some deviations.
URL	This final class represents an Internet Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
URLClassLoader	A secure class loader that can load classes and resources from multiple locations.
URLConnection	This class models a connection that retrieves the information pointed to by a URL object.
URLDecoder	This utility class contains static methods that converts a string encoded in the x-www-form-urlencoded format to the original text.
URLEncoder	This utility class contains static methods that converts a string into a fully encoded URL string in x-www-form-urlencoded format.
URLStreamHandler	This class is the superclass of all URL protocol handlers.

Exception Summary
BindException	This exception indicates that an error occurred while attempting to bind socket to a particular port.
ConnectException	This exception indicates that an error occurred while attempting to connect to a remote host.
MalformedURLException	This exception indicates that a URL passed to an object was not in a valid format.
NoRouteToHostException	This exception indicates that there is no TCP/IP route to the requested host.
PortUnreachableException	This exception signals that an ICMP port unreachable datagram has been received.
ProtocolException	This exception indicates that some sort of low level protocol exception occurred.
SocketException	This exception indicates that a generic error occurred related to an operation on a socket.
SocketTimeoutException	This exception signals that a socket read or accept timed out.
UnknownHostException	This exception indicates that an attempt was made to reference a hostname or IP address that is not valid.
UnknownServiceException	Contrary to what you might think, this does not indicate that the TCP/IP service name specified was invalid.
URISyntaxException	This exception is thrown when a String cannot be parsed as a URI.
