Java Applets

Java applets are small, interactive programs written in Java that can run inside web browsers. They were designed to add dynamic features like animations, games, or interactive forms to websites. Applets are embedded within web pages and execute on the user's computer via the browser's Java plugin, providing a richer online experience. However, due to security concerns and advancements in web technologies, applets have become less common and are largely replaced by more modern solutions like JavaScript and HTML5.
