The DataInputStream works with the binary data, while the
BufferedReader work with character data.
All primitive data types can be handled by using the
corresponding methods in DataInputStream class, while only
string data can be read from BufferedReader class and they
need to be parsed into the respective primitives.
DataInputStream is a part of filtered streams, while
BufferedReader is not.
DataInputStream consumes less amount of memory space being
it is binary stream, where as BufferedReader consumes more
memory space being it is character stream.
The data to be handled is limited in DataInputStream, where
as the number of characters to be handled has wide scope in
BufferedReader.
