JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface)

JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface) is a Java API that allows applications to discover and look up resources, such as databases, services, or objects, in a structured directory system. Think of it like a phone book for software, where resources are registered with unique names, and applications can search for and access them seamlessly. It simplifies managing and connecting to various resources across different environments, making Java applications more flexible and easier to maintain. JNDI acts as a bridge, enabling efficient resource lookup in complex networked systems.
