I am using Writer and OutputStream In one Class so how can i control?

Question

I'm designing a library where a class should have an ability to be able to convert itself internals into text. Which class shall I use: OutputStream or Writer? And what is the key difference between them (in my case)?

Depends on what do you want to do with the text : write it into a file, send it by socket, make a XML document... Convert internal variables into text can be done without an `OutputStream` — Sw4Tish, Aug 27 '13 at 09:40
WTF... this isn't just a duplicate, it's an exact copy of the first paragraph of that question. What's the point? — l4mpi, Aug 27 '13 at 10:17

The main difference is that a Stream writes bytes (binary data) while a Writer writes characters (text).

Choose what best fits your needs.
