Java : read and write to a binary file

Code for reading a binary file :

	Path path = Paths.get("myFile.bin");
	if(Files.exists(path)){
	File file = path.toFile();
	try(DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(
	new BufferedInputStream(
	new FileInputStream(file)))){
	while(in.available() > 0){
	System.out.print(in.readUTF());
	}
	}catch(IOException e){
	//do something with exception
	}
	}

Code for writing to a binary file :

	Path path = Paths.get("myFile.bin");
	if(Files.exists(path)){
	File file = path.toFile();
	try(DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(
	new BufferedOutputStream(
	new FileOutputStream(file)))){
	out.writeUTF("This is a string to record");
	}catch(IOException e){
	//do something with exception
	}

As said in a previous article, you should use buffered stream for improving I/O operations. It's also considered a best practice to use the try-with-resources for releasing resources.
