binary stream better for socket reading and character stream is better for client input reading

What is the difference between binary code and extendible binary code?

There is no such thing as extendible (sic) binary code. However, there are two known variants: eXtendable Binary (XB) is a universal file format used for serialising binary trees. Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code (EBCDIC) was an 8-bit character encoding used by IBM in the 1960's. It's a non-standard encoding that was used by IBM prior to them switching to ASCII peripherals.


Difference between binary data and digital data?

only difference is that binary is only consists of 0 and 1 bits,where as digital means it may either contain binary bits (0,1), or contain the numeric digit (0-9), mainely digital means just the number between 0 to 9
