What Is Java?
Java is a high-level programming language developed by Sun Microsystems in 1995. It was designed to be platform independent, meaning that it can run on any operating system or hardware architecture with the help of a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Java is an object-oriented language and has features such as automatic memory management, garbage collection, exception handling, and multi-threading. It also supports various web technologies like servlets and JSPs for developing dynamic websites.
Java is widely used in many industries including banking, finance, retail, healthcare and government organizations due to its scalability and robustness. Many popular applications are written using Java such as Eclipse IDE for software development; Apache Tomcat server for web application hosting; Hadoop framework for big data processing; Android SDK for mobile app development; Jenkins CI/CD toolchain automation etc. Additionally there are numerous open source libraries available which makes it easier to develop complex applications quickly without having to write code from scratch.
