What is the difference between the File and RandomAccessFile classes? The OS based file system services such as creating folders, files, verifying the permissions, changing file names etc., are provided by the java.io.File class.
The java.io.RandomAccessFile class provides random access to the records that are stored in a data file. Using this class, reading and writing , manipulations to the data can be done. One more flexibility is that it can read and write primitive data types, which helps in structured approach in handling data files.
