So I'm making a utility class to find resources and read them as JSON objects using the GSON library, the code below is working good but I don't really know how good it is, so I would like to get opinions about it and maybe some things I can improve and make it more efficient?

public abstract class ResourceManager {

    private final String resourcesDirectoryName;

    public ResourceManager(String resourcesDirectoryName) {
        this.resourcesDirectoryName = resourcesDirectoryName;
    }

    public void findAndReadResources() {
        Map<String, JsonElement> loader = new HashMap<>();

        InputStream resourcesDirectoryStream = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(resourcesDirectoryName);
        if(resourcesDirectoryStream != null) {
            Scanner resourcesDirectoryReader = new Scanner(resourcesDirectoryStream);
            while(resourcesDirectoryReader.hasNextLine()) {
                String resourceFileName = resourcesDirectoryReader.nextLine();
                InputStream resourceFileStream = JTasks.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(
                        resourcesDirectoryName + "\\" + resourceFileName);
                if(resourceFileStream != null) {
                    Reader resourceFileReader = new InputStreamReader(resourceFileStream);
                    loader.put(resourceFileName, JsonParser.parseReader(resourceFileReader));
                }
            }
            this.readResources(loader);
        }
    }

    protected abstract void readResources(Map<String, JsonElement> loader);
}

    \$\begingroup\$ Could you please provide a class that inherits from this class as well? \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ ``` public class JsonsResourceManager extends ResourceManager { public JsonsResourceManager() { super("jsons"); } @Override protected void readResources(Map<String, JsonElement> loader) { loader.forEach((string, jsonElement) -> { System.out.println(string); System.out.println(jsonElement); }); } } ``` Don't really know how it'll help you, but here's an example. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ I meant that you should add the code to the question. When we are asked to make code more efficient, the more code there is to review the better we can help with efficiency. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ The names like resourcesDirectoryName imply that the resources are plain files in the filesystem. On the other hand, getResourceAsStream() often accesses e.g. Jar file contents. What is your use case? \$\endgroup\$
