Because there is lots of legacy data out there, we see the need for open implementations of readers for popular formats.
The goal is to create a set of efficient and robust ImageIO plug-ins, that can be distributed independently.

## Basic usage
Most of the time, all you need to do is simply include the plugins in your project and write:
BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(file);
```java
BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(file);
```
This will load the first image of the file, entirely into memory.
The basic and simplest form of writing is:
if (!ImageIO.write(image, format, file)) {
```java
if (!ImageIO.write(image, format, file)) {
// Handle image not written case
}
}
```
This will write the entire image into a single file, using the default settings for the given format.
