Binary and non-binary socketing java

Question

I heard that there is a binary connection. I am new to java, I use plain text based on what I learned from java.sun.com tutorials for sockets. So, I want to know what are the benefits of binary socks? Why should I use this? And what resources can you offer about binary communication?

Answer 1

You will only work with binary data through sockets, if you have a specific reason for this - for example, high performance. If you had such a reason, you would know that, and using binary data directly over sockets did not guarantee high performance.

Answer 4

As mentioned in other answers, you should avoid socket communications if absolutely necessary. I would suggest XML as a communication data format instead of objects, as it allows you to easily communicate with clients working in other languages ​​as needed, and it is much easier to debug them. XStream is a great library to facilitate the conversion of an ↔ xml object with minimal support code.
