Java Collections Framework

The Java Collections Framework is a set of classes and interfaces in the Java programming language that helps manage groups of objects. It provides standard ways to store, retrieve, and manipulate data, making programming easier and more efficient. Key components include lists (ordered collections), sets (unique items), and maps (key-value pairs). This framework supports various operations like searching and sorting, and it is designed to be flexible, allowing developers to choose the best structure for their needs, improving the organization and performance of their applications.
