<div class="type-signature"><span class="modifiers">public interface </span><span class="element-name type-name-label">Disposable</span></div>
<div class="block">A resource that can be disposed when waiting for the garbage collector would be overly conservative.
Invoking the <a href="#dispose()"><code>dispose()</code></a> method allows any resources held by this object to be released.
The result of calling any other method subsequent to a call to this method is undefined.
<p>Data integrity shall not depend on <code>dispose()</code> method invocation.
If some data may need to be <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/16/docs/api/java.base/java/io/OutputStream.html#flush()" title="class or interface in java.io" class="external-link">flushed to a stream</a>
or <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/16/docs/api/java.sql/java/sql/Connection.html#commit()" title="class or interface in java.sql" class="external-link">committed to a database</a>,
then a <code>close()</code> method should be used instead.</p>
<h2>Relationship with <code>Closeable</code></h2>
Some classes may implement both the <code>Disposeable</code> and <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/16/docs/api/java.base/java/io/Closeable.html" title="class or interface in java.io" class="external-link"><code>Closeable</code></a> interfaces.
While very similar, those two interfaces serve slightly different purposes. The <code>Closeable</code>
interface closes a stream or a connection, but some classes allow the object to be reused with a
different stream. However, once an object has been disposed, it cannot be used anymore.
<div class="note"><b>Example:</b>
<a href="https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/16/docs/api/java.desktop/javax/imageio/ImageReader.html" title="class or interface in javax.imageio" class="external-link"><code>Image­Reader</code></a> and <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/16/docs/api/java.desktop/javax/imageio/ImageWriter.html" title="class or interface in javax.imageio" class="external-link"><code>Image­Writer</code></a> allow to reuse the same instance
many times for reading or writing different images in the same format. New streams can be created, given
to the <code>Image­Reader</code> or <code>Image­Writer</code> and closed many times as long as <code>dispose()</code> has
not been invoked.</div>
Another difference is that <a href="#dispose()"><code>dispose()</code></a> does not throw any checked exception.
That method may be invoked in a background thread performing cleanup tasks,
which would not know what to do in case of failure.
Error during <code>dispose()</code> execution should not result in any lost of data.</div>
