Problem Statement
Compare binary I/O and text I/O in object-oriented programming context and when you would choose one over the other.
Explanation
Text I/O handles human-readable formats (like JSON, XML, CSV) and is easier for debugging and interoperability. Binary I/O uses raw bytes and is typically faster, more compact and used for images, performance-sensitive data or proprietary formats. For example you may serialize objects into binary form for cache, but write logs as text for readability. In code you might wrap streams accordingly and enforce encoding or endianness. Choosing correctly affects performance, maintainability and error handling.
