Answer from AI

  • FileOutputStream - writing bytes to a file.
  • ByteArrayOutputStream - writing bytes to an internal buffer in memory (byte array).
  • FilterOutputStream - base class for output stream decorators (to add functionality). Some subclasses:
    • BufferedOutputStream - buffering output to improve performance.
    • DataOutputStream - writing primitive data types in binary format.
    • PrintStream - writing text data in various formats, convenient for output to console or file.
  • ObjectOutputStream - writing objects to a stream (serialization).
  • PipedOutputStream - part of a pipeline for communication between threads in the same process (usually used with PipedInputStream).
