Java documentation is a set of documents that provide information about the classes, methods, and interfaces that are part of the Java API (Application Programming Interface). The Java API is a collection of pre-written Java code that provides a set of standard libraries and tools for building Java applications.
The Java documentation includes the following types of documents:
