Remarks
The OutputChannel offers three ways to write to output: (1) the write methods defined on the class, (2) the exposed TextWriter, and (3) the exposed PipeWriter. It is recommended that when writing to output, you choose only one method for writing and not alternate approaches, because mixing binary and text-based writing could lead to corruption, partially encoded characters, or thread-safety issues.
