AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit)

The Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) is a set of Java software components that allows developers to create graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for applications. Think of AWT as a toolbox for building windowed applications, where you can design buttons, text fields, and menus that users interact with. It provides the basic elements needed to make programs visually appealing and functional on various operating systems. AWT uses native system components, which means it can closely match the look and feel of the user's operating system, allowing for a seamless user experience.
