- Java Application Programming Interface (API) - An API consists of the methods and variables programmers use to work with a component or tool in their applications. The Java language APIs consist of the classes and Java methods of the java.lang, java.util, java.io, java.text, and java.net packages, and many others.“ (LrnJav 2023)* Application Programming Interface (API) - An API consists of the methods and variables programmers use to work with a component or tool in their applications. The Java language APIs consist of the classes and Java methods of the java.lang, java.util, java.io, java.text, and java.net packages, and many others.” (LrnJav 2023)
“Application programming interface (API) is a set of subroutine definitions, communication protocols, and tools for building software. In general terms, it is a set of clearly defined methods of communication among various components. A good API makes it easier to develop a computer program by providing all the building blocks, which are then put together by the programmer.”
