Java

Course description:

Java is a widely used, high-level, object-oriented programming language and software platform designed to be platform-independent, meaning code can run on any device that supports the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It is known for its “Write Once, Run Anywhere” (WORA) capability, enabling developers to write code once and deploy it across various operating systems and devices.

## What Are Java Modules?
Introduced in Java 9, the Java Platform Module System (JPMS) enables developers to modularize their applications. A module is a self-contained unit of code that encapsulates a set of related packages and explicitly declares its dependencies and what it exports. This modular approach enhances the structure and maintainability of Java applications.([ O’Reilly Media][1], [CodeLucky][2])

## Core Features of Java Modules
 1. **Explicit Dependency Management**
Modules declare their dependencies using the `requires` keyword, making it clear which modules they depend on. This explicit declaration helps in managing dependencies effectively and avoiding issues related to classpath conflicts. ([CodeLucky][2], [CloudDevs][3])
 2. *Proper Encapsulation* Modules enforce strong encapsulation by allowing only explicitly exported packages to be accessible to other modules. This prevents unintended access to internal implementation details, enhancing security and reducing the risk of accidental dependencies. ([O’Reilly Media][1])
 3. **Scalable Application Development**
By breaking down applications into smaller, self-contained modules, developers can create more scalable systems. This modularity allows for easier maintenance, testing, and evolution of applications over time. ([lyzer.hashnode.dev][4])
### 4. **Improved Performance**
The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) can optimize the startup time and memory usage of applications by loading only the required modules. This selective loading improves the overall performance of Java applications. ([CodeLucky][2])

 Why Choose Java Modules?
### 1. **Enhanced Code Maintainability**
Modularizing code into distinct modules makes it easier to understand, maintain, and evolve. Each module has a clear responsibility and well-defined interfaces, reducing complexity and improving code quality.
### 2. Improvements in Dependency Management Effectively managing and resolving dependencies is made easier by explicitly declaring module dependencies. It reduces the risk of version conflicts and makes the build process more predictable. ([CodeLucky] [2] and CloudDevs [3]) ### 3. **Improved Security**
Strong encapsulation ensures that only the necessary parts of a module are exposed to other modules, reducing the attack surface and enhancing the security of the application. ([O’Reilly Media][1])
### 4. **Scalability and Performance**
Modular applications can be scaled more easily, and performance can be optimized by loading only the required modules. This leads to faster startup times and reduced memory usage.
### 5. **Easier Deployment**
Modular applications can be deployed more flexibly, allowing for easier updates and maintenance. Modules can be updated independently, reducing the risk of introducing errors during deployment. ([CodeFiner][5])

## Getting Started with Java Modules
To create a module in Java, define a `module-info.java` file in the root of your module’s directory. Here’s an example:
“`java
module com.example.myapp {
requires java.base;
exports com.example.myapp.api;
}
“`
In this example:
* `requires java.base;` declares a dependency on the `java.base` module.([codippa |][6])
* “exports com.example.myapp.api;” allows other modules to access the “com.example.myapp.api” package. CodeLucky][2])
This modular structure helps in organizing code, managing dependencies, and improving the overall architecture of Java applications.
