Remote Method Invocation (RMI)

Remote Method Invocation (RMI) is a Java technology that allows a program on one computer to execute methods or functions on a program located on another computer over a network. Think of it as calling a function in a local program, but the actual code runs remotely. RMI handles communication between the two systems, making it easier for developers to build distributed applications where different parts work together across network boundaries seamlessly. It abstracts the complexity of network communication, allowing developers to focus on the logic rather than the underlying data transfer process.
