java socket using byte[]

In Java, a socket can be used to establish a connection between two devices over a network. The data sent between the devices can be in the form of bytes, which are represented using a byte array.

Here is an example of a Java socket program that uses byte arrays:

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

public class SocketExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Establish a connection to the server
            Socket socket = new Socket("localhost", 8080);

            // Create an output stream to send data to the server
            OutputStream os = socket.getOutputStream();

            // Create a byte array to send data
            byte[] data = "Hello World!".getBytes();

            // Send the data to the server
            os.write(data);

            // Close the output stream and socket
            os.close();
            socket.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

In this example, we first create a socket object and connect to a server running on the same machine (localhost) on port 8080. We then create an output stream to send data to the server.

Next, we create a byte array containing the message "Hello World!" using the `getBytes()` method. We then write this data to the output stream using the `write()` method.

Finally, we close the output stream and socket to free up resources.

This example demonstrates how to use a byte array to send data over a socket connection in Java.
