When it comes to the types of file formats, there are mainly\ntwo types – binary and text. Apparently, the file formats may look similar, but\nthey are different in terms of encoding data. Even though the data are stored\nin bits, but bits in text files denote characters while that in binary files\ndenote custom data. As a matter of fact, text files contain only textual data\nwhile binary files can contain both textual as well as custom binary data. Text\nfiles can be of two types named plain text and rich text like font, text color\nand style files. Binary files can be of various types like audio, images,\nvideos, text and executable files. The following are the differences between\ntext files and binary files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storage – <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a text file, the data are stored in the form of\ncharacters, digits, special characters by converting them to their respective\nASCII<\/a> value. However, the data are readable when you open them due to instant\nconversion. Therefore, any small error is instantly detectable and changeable.\nExamples of text file are TXT, C, and JAVA files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a binary file, these characters, digits and special\ncharacters stored as a collection of bytes or custom data which are not\nreadable. Therefore, you will find binary files becoming corrupt as the errors\ncannot be rectified. Examples of binary files are MP3, EXE files. However, the\nbinary files are more secured due to this lack of readability factor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number Storage – <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the text mode, the function fprintf() is used for storing\nnumerical data. The characters take one byte<\/a> as expected while integer should 4\nbytes, but it is not the case<\/a>. It takes 6 bytes instead for a number with 6\ndigits. Therefore, it treats numbers as characters. Therefore, if your file has\na lot of integers, the memory storage will be inefficient as integers are\ntaking as much space as characters which should not be the case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to this anomaly or inefficiency, binary files score over\ntext files. In a binary file, fread and fwrite functions are used, and any\nnumber within the range of an integer takes only 4 bytes as it should.\nTherefore, binary files are highly efficient in most of the cases for storing\nnumbers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, bits represent character in a text file while\nbits represent a custom data in a binary file. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encoded – <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inefficiency of text file is due to the fact that the\ntext files are not compressed but encoded in a simple way. Due to the lack of\ncompression, the space taken is more. However, the binary file is always\ntightly compressed, and the encryption is a result of the same. Therefore, it\nis more efficient is data storage as well as management. There are loads of\npossibilities of data storage in doc, pdf, excel files all of which are binary\nfiles. As a matter of fact, ZIP and RAR files are binary files. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newlines – <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A newline is end of line or line break<\/a>. A special character\nis used to signify a new line. In a text file, this special newline character\nis converted into a carriage-return combination and stored in the disk. Similarly,\nwhen it comes to reading the line break, the conversion is reversed. This takes\nunnecessary time and space and therefore, it is slightly inefficient in case of\nlarge files. In binary files, there is no such conversion required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

End of File –<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a distinct difference between the representation of\nthe end of file for binary and text file. In the text file, a special character\nis inserted at the end of the file which is generally ASCII 26th character. In\nthe binary file, there is no use of any special character to denote the end of\nthe file. Instead, it keeps track of the total number of character present in\nthe binary file. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest and the most fundamental difference is that a\ntext file can only store plain text while a binary file can store text, image,\naudio, and likewise. However, a text file can be opened in almost any simple\ntext editor and special editor. But a binary file needs special applications to\nopen them like media player for audio files, image editor for an image file. On\nthe other hand, EXE files are independent of any application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
