java.io has many different I/O streams, (FileInputStream, FileOutputStream, FileReader, FileWriter, BufferedStreams... etc.) and I am confused in determining the differences between them. What are some examples where one stream type is preferred over another, and what are the real differences between them?

There are 3 categories of classes in java.io are as follows: Input Streams. Output Streams. Error Streams.
InputStream Read data from the source once at a time. 2. OutputStream Write Data to the destination once at a time.
Streams: one byte at a time. Good for binary data.
Readers/Writers: one character at a time. Good for text data.
Anything "Buffered": many bytes/characters at a time. Good almost all the time.
