Hi sanjeev_hansanur1,

A good way to convert raw input stream to whatever you want (including string) is wrapping it using DataInputStream class. The benefit here is that you don't need buffering, so the need of engaging memory decreases. Processing happens "on flight" (or could be at least, if you code properly - process resulting string, or whatever else, piece by piece - following the streaming conception). 😉

Hope this helps.
