DataInputStream/DataOutputStream

public class DataInputStream

extends FilterInputStream

implements DataInput

A data input stream lets an application read primitive Java data types from an underlying input stream in a machine-independent way. An application uses a data output stream to write data that can later be read by a data input stream.
Data input streams and data output streams represent Unicode strings in a format that is a slight modification of UTF-8.

JDK1.0
