Java bytecode is a binary data format that includes loading information and execution instructions for the Java virtual machine. In that sense, Java bytecode is a special kind of binary code. When you use the term "binary code" to mean machine instructions for a real processors architecture (like IA-32 or Sparc) then it is different. Java bytecode is not a binary codein that sense. It is not processor-specific. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4841083/java-is-binary-code-the-same-as-bytecode
