Definition: Java [Web and XML Glossary]

Java

Java is a general-purpose object-oriented Programming Language. Java is interesting in the context of the WWW because it is compiled into Java "bytecode", which is executed on a JVM. This design makes Java programs platform-independent, and Java applets, a special form of Java programs, can be integrated into WWW documents. Most Browsers today contain a JVM and a run-time environment for applets.
