Java Files.isHidden() is a method in Java's java.nio.file.Files class that checks whether a file is hidden. Hidden files are typically those not visible by default in file explorers or directories. Introduced in Java 2007 with Java 7, isHidden() is useful for file system operations that need to identify or handle hidden files, such as backup or cleanup tools.
