Byte Streams

FileInputStream:

Use: Read raw bytes from a file.


Example:
java
Copy code
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("file.txt");
int data = fis.read();
while (data != -1) {
// Process data
data = fis.read();
}
fis.close();
FileOutputStream:

Use: Write raw bytes to a file.


Example:
java
Copy code
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("file.txt");
fos.write(data);
fos.close();
BufferedInputStream:

Use: Efficiently read binary data with buffering.


Example:
java
Copy code
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("file.txt"));
int data = bis.read();
while (data != -1) {
// Process data
data = bis.read();
}
bis.close();
BufferedOutputStream:

Use: Efficiently write binary data with buffering.


Example:
java
Copy code
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(new
FileOutputStream("file.txt"));
bos.write(data);
bos.close();
Character Streams
FileReader:

Use: Read text data from a file.


Example:
java
Copy code
FileReader fr = new FileReader("file.txt");
int data = fr.read();
while (data != -1) {
// Process data
data = fr.read();
}
fr.close();
FileWriter:

Use: Write text data to a file.


Example:
java
Copy code
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("file.txt");
fw.write("Hello, World!");
fw.close();
BufferedReader:

Use: Efficiently read text data with buffering, especially line-by-line.


Example:
java
Copy code
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file.txt"));
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
// Process line
}
br.close();
BufferedWriter:

Use: Efficiently write text data with buffering.


Example:
java
Copy code
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("file.txt"));
bw.write("Hello, World!");
bw.newLine();
bw.write("This is a test.");
bw.close();
Conversion Streams
InputStreamReader:

Use: Convert bytes to characters with specified character encoding.


Example:
java
Copy code
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("file.txt"),
"UTF-8");
int data = isr.read();
while (data != -1) {
// Process data
data = isr.read();
}
isr.close();
OutputStreamWriter:

Use: Convert characters to bytes with specified character encoding.


Example:
java
Copy code
OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream("file.txt"),
"UTF-8");
osw.write("Hello, World!");
osw.close();
Object Streams
ObjectOutputStream:

Use: Write objects to a file (serialization).


Example:
java
Copy code
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(new
FileOutputStream("object.dat"));
oos.writeObject(new Person("John", 30));
oos.close();
ObjectInputStream:

Use: Read objects from a file (deserialization).


Example:
java
Copy code
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream("object.dat"));
Person person = (Person) ois.readObject();
ois.close();
Data Streams
DataInputStream:

Use: Read primitive data types from an input stream.


Example:
java
Copy code
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream("data.dat"));
int number = dis.readInt();
double value = dis.readDouble();
dis.close();
DataOutputStream:

Use: Write primitive data types to an output stream.


Example:
java
Copy code
DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("data.dat"));
dos.writeInt(42);
dos.writeDouble(3.14);
dos.close();
Random Access
RandomAccessFile:
Use: Read from and write to a file at random positions.
Example:
java
Copy code
RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile("file.txt", "rw");
raf.seek(10); // Move to position 10
raf.writeBytes("Hello");
raf.close();
Print Streams
PrintWriter:
Use: Write formatted text to a file.
Example:
java
Copy code
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("file.txt"));
pw.println("Hello, World!");
pw.printf("Value: %.2f\n", 3.14159);
pw.close();
Summary
Each of these classes serves a specific purpose in Java I/O operations, whether for
reading or writing data, handling text or binary data, or managing serialization.
Understanding their roles and using them appropriately can greatly enhance the
efficiency and functionality of your Java applications when dealing with input and
output operations.
