You are building a text editor in Java which reads large text files. How would you utilize character streams to read data from files, and why are character streams preferable in this scenario?

  • Use BufferedReader and BufferedWriter to create character streams, as they read and write character data in chunks.
  • Use FileInputStream and FileOutputStream to create character streams, as they can handle character data efficiently.
  • Use FileReader and FileWriter to create character streams, as they provide direct access to character data.
  • Use ObjectOutputStream and ObjectInputStream to create character streams, as they can serialize character objects.
In the context of a text editor reading large text files, using BufferedReader and BufferedWriter is preferable. These classes efficiently read and write character data in chunks, reducing the I/O overhead and improving performance. FileInputStream/FileOutputStream deal with bytes, FileReader/FileWriter are less efficient for large files, and ObjectOutputStream/ObjectInputStream are for object serialization.
