Java Standard Edition (SE) is the foundation for Java applications, providing the essential libraries and tools for Java programming. This document provides an overview of the Java SE platform and its features.
Features
- Core Libraries: Java SE includes a comprehensive set of libraries for common programming tasks.
- Virtual Machine: The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) allows Java code to run on any device with a compatible JVM.
- Platform Independence: Java applications are platform-independent, as they are compiled into bytecode that runs on the JVM.
Benefits
- Portability: Java applications can run on any device with a JVM, making it a versatile choice for developers.
- Security: The JVM provides a secure environment for running Java applications.
- Robustness: Java applications are designed to be robust and fault-tolerant.
