What is Swing
Swing is a GUI widget toolkit for Java. It is built on top of the AWT API. Also, it is a part of Oracle’s Java Foundation Classes (JFC). Furthermore, Swing provides basic components such as labels, textboxes, buttons, etc. as well as advanced components such as tabbed panes, table, and, trees. Therefore, Swing provides more sophisticated components than AWT. Here, the programmer has to import javax.swing package to write a Swing application. This package provides a number of classes such as JButton, JTable, JList, JTextArea, and, JCheckBox.
Swing is platform-independent and its components are lightweight. Furthermore, the components require minimum memory space. Therefore, Swing applications execute much faster. One common design pattern in development is the Model, View, Controller (MVC) pattern. Swing follows this pattern. It helps to maintain the code easily.
