How to read and write binary data in Go using the io package?

To read and write binary data in Go using the io package, you can follow the steps outlined below:

Import the necessary packages:

import (
	"encoding/binary"
	"io"
)

Reading binary data:

// Provide a Reader interface to read binary data from
reader := io.Reader // Replace this with your actual reader

// Create a buffer to store the binary data
buffer := make([]byte, 4) // Specify the size of the buffer according to your data format

// Read binary data from the reader into the buffer
_, err := reader.Read(buffer)
if err != nil {
    // Handle error
}

// Convert the binary data to the desired format
data := binary.BigEndian.Uint32(buffer) // Specify the desired data format (BigEndian, LittleEndian)

// Use the data as needed
fmt.Println(data)

Writing binary data:

// Provide a Writer interface to write binary data to
writer := io.Writer // Replace this with your actual writer

// Create a buffer to store the binary data
buffer := make([]byte, 4) // Specify the size of the buffer according to your data format

// Convert the data to binary format
data := uint32(42) // Replace this with your actual data
binary.BigEndian.PutUint32(buffer, data) // Specify the desired data format (BigEndian, LittleEndian)

// Write the binary data to the writer
_, err := writer.Write(buffer)
if err != nil {
    // Handle error
}

Note: Replace the io.Reader and io.Writer with the appropriate reader and writer interfaces you are using to read and write data.
