DataOutput interface provides for converting data from any of the Java primitive types to a series of bytes and writing these bytes to a binary stream. There is also a facility for converting a String into modified UTF-8 format and writing the resulting series of bytes.  For all the methods in this interface that write bytes, it is generally true that if a byte cannot be written for any reason, an IOException is thrown.
