Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) : - by Utkarsh Rai

Java AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit) is an API that allows developers to create graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in Java. It contains predefined classes for GUI components like buttons, text fields, and labels. The key AWT components are platform-dependent and include containers like Frame and Panel, as well as non-container components. Frame is a top-level container that displays a title bar and can hold menus, while Panel is a generic container that holds other components but lacks its own borders or menus. AWT also provides methods for modifying component properties and layout.
