21.3. Comparison: Java I/O vs NIO

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the major data handling method used by Java I/O?

   Hint

   Think about how data flows in Java I/O.

2. 2.

   True or False: Java NIO uses buffers for data handling.

   Hint

   Remember the distinction between streams and buffers.

3. 3.

   What data handling method is used by Java I/O?

   • Stream-based
   • Buffer-based
   • Packet-based

   Hint

   Think about how data is processed sequentially.

4. 4.

   Is Java NIO always blocking?

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Remember the advantages of NIO.

5. 5.

   Create a small Java program that demonstrates the speed difference between reading a large file using Java I/O and Java NIO.

   Hint

   Make sure to handle file exceptions properly when reading.

6. 6.

   Explain a real-world scenario where Java NIO would be beneficial compared to Java I/O. Include specifics about your design and architecture.

   Hint

   Focus on applications requiring high concurrency.
