The difference between inetaddress and inetsocketaddress in Java

InetAddress and inetsocketaddress look similar in Java to describe IP addresses and host names. Of course, they also support the use of regular methods to check the address: Loopback address, local address, multicast address, basic return method: Get IP, get host name, etc.

The important thing is that inetsocketaddress contains inetaddress. This means that if we want to do anything with the inetaddress in inetsocketaddress, we just need to get it through the Getinetaddress () method. Comparison Table

Property	inetaddress	inetsocketaddress
Description Object	IP Address	Socket address (IP address + port)
Describe	IP and host object names	The IP and host object names, including the port number
Solve the problem	IP to host name, host name to IP	IP to host name, host name to IP, can contain port
Get Object	Inetaddress.getlocalhost (); Inetaddress.getbyname (String); Inetaddress.getbyaddress (String);	Inetsocketaddress.createunresolved (String, Port);

code Example

public class  Hotdream {public

    static void Main (String args[]) {

       byte[] b = new byte[] {(byte), (Byte), (b Yte) 1, (byte) 1};

        try {

            inetaddress add = inetaddress.getbyaddress (b);

            System.out.println (Add.tostring ());

            Add = Inetaddress.getbyname ("localhost");

            System.out.println (Add.tostring ());

            Inetsocketaddress Addsock = inetsocketaddress.createunresolved (

                    "localhost",);

            System.out.println (Addsock.tostring ());

        } catch (Exception e) {

        }

    }

}
