Java is ahigh-level,class-based,object-orientedprogramming language that is designed to have as few implementationdependencies as possible. It is ageneral-purpose programming language intended to letprogrammerswrite once, run anywhere(WORA)meaning thatcompiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need to recompile.^[18] Java applications are typically compiled tobytecode that can run on anyJava virtual machine (JVM) regardless of the underlyingcomputer architecture. Thesyntax of Java is similar toC andC++, but has fewerlow-levelfacilities than either of them. The Java runtime provides dynamic capabilities (such asreflection and runtime code modification) that are typically not available in traditional compiled languages. As of 2019, Java was one of the mostpopular programming languages in use according toGitHub,^[19][20]particularly forclientserverweb applications, with a reported 9 million developers.
