Java (sometimes called “Java” and more rarely, but incorrectly, “J2EE”) is a software application development technology.
What is Java?
It was designed by Sun Microsystems, and is part of the family of so-called “object-oriented” languages.
The primary purpose of the Java language is to provide a framework for rapid application development.
The Java language is indeed very suitable for this objective. Indeed, it allows applications to be developed quickly and in a modular manner.
It was therefore chosen to replace the C++ language, which is too slow and too difficult to maintain (and also because it is the basis of the Java platform).
The Java language allows you to develop applications that are:
independent of the operating system you are on. It is thus possible to develop an application for a laptop, a mobile phone, a tablet or an embedded system.
There are many applications that use this technology. Some portfolios cryptocurrencies (bitcoin core, zelcore) use Java technology to provide users with a successful experience.
To work, you must install JRE (Java Runtime Environment) on your machine.
