Your question is totally unclear. Edit it and make it more precise what you really want to know. – JMax Oct 01 '17 at 16:26

It is basically a simplified version of ObjectOutputStream, which can only write primative values.
This means it is good for writing simple values out, but ObjectOutputStream is better if you want to send structured or complex data.
The javadoc says this:
A data input stream lets an application read primitive Java data types from an underlying input stream in a machine-independent way. An application uses a data output stream to write data that can later be read by a data input stream.
