Should I use DataInputStream or BufferedInputStream

Question

I want to read each line from a text file and store them in an ArrayList (each line being one entry in the ArrayList).

So far I understand that a BufferedInputStream

Answer 1

InputStream: Base class to read byte from stream (network or file ), provide ability to read byte from the stream and delete the end of the stream.

DataInputStream: To read data directly as a primitive datatype.

BufferInputStream: Read data from the input stream and use buffer to optimize the speed to access the data.
