object output stream java code example

Example: object output stream java

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.ObjectInputStream;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
import java.io.Serializable;

class Dog implements Serializable {

    String name;
    String breed;

    public Dog(String name, String breed) {
        this.name = name;
        this.breed = breed;
    }
}

class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Creates an object of Dog class
        Dog dog1 = new Dog("Tyson", "Labrador");

        try {
            FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream("file.txt");

            // Creates an ObjectOutputStream
            ObjectOutputStream objOut = new ObjectOutputStream(fileOut);

            // Writes objects to the output stream
            objOut.writeObject(dog1);

            // Reads the object
            FileInputStream fileIn = new FileInputStream("file.txt");
            ObjectInputStream objIn = new ObjectInputStream(fileIn);

            // Reads the objects
            Dog newDog = (Dog) objIn.readObject();

            System.out.println("Dog Name: " + newDog.name);
            System.out.println("Dog Breed: " + newDog.breed);

            objOut.close();
            objIn.close();
        }

        catch (Exception e) {
            e.getStackTrace();
