Java I/O Streams - Byte Streams: READ (InputStream) and WRITE (OutputStream) byte-content Files

In today’s video, we’ll continue to review together Java IO APIs. This time, we’ll review IO Streams, especially Byte Streams.

There are 2 categories of I/O Streams to support 2 kinds of content for a resource:
- Byte Streams: for byte content like an image or a video that process bytes as a unit of data
- Character Streams: for character content like a text file, a XML or JSON document that process characters as a unit of data
