Java is a widely used, high-level, object-oriented programming language. It was first released by Sun Microsystems (now owned by Oracle Corporation) in 1995.
Java was designed to be platform-independent, allowing developers to write code once and run it on multiple platforms without recompilation.
Java's versatility, portability, and robustness have contributed to its popularity and widespread use in various domains, making it one of the most popular programming languages in the world.
