Java Platform

The Java Platform is a software environment that allows developers to create and run applications using the Java programming language. It consists of the Java Development Kit (JDK) for writing and testing programs, the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for running those programs, and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that executes the code. One of its key features is "write once, run anywhere," meaning that Java applications can run on any device that has the Java platform installed, regardless of the underlying hardware or operating system. This makes it popular for building cross-platform applications.
