Converting Byte Array to Short Array and Vice-Versa in Java

A practical guide to converting byte arrays to short arrays and vice versa in Java, covering big-endian and little-endian byte ordering. Three approaches are demonstrated: manual loops with bitwise shifts, Java Stream API, and the ByteBuffer/ByteOrder classes. The guide explains why byte order matters when exchanging data between systems and recommends explicit byte order configuration for clarity and bug prevention.
