    Java JDK, JRE and JVM


    You will learn the key di erences between JDK, JRE, and JVM in this article.

    What is JVM?

    JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is an abstract machine that enables your computer to run a Java program.

    When you run the Java program, Java compiler rst compiles your Java code to bytecode. Then, the JVM translates
    Contents
    bytecode into native machine code (set of instructions that a computer's CPU executes directly).

    Java is a platform-independent language. It's because when you write Java code, it's ultimately written for JVM but not
    your physical machine (computer). Since, JVM executes the Java bytecode which is platform independent, Java is
    platform-independent.

    What is JRE?

    JRE (Java Runtime Environment) is a software package that provides Java class libraries, along with Java Virtual Machine
    (JVM), and other components to run applications written in Java programming. JRE is the superset of JVM.

    If you need to run Java programs, but not develop them, JRE is what you need. You can download JRE from  Java SE
    Runtime Environment 8 Downloads  page.

    What is JDK?

    JDK (Java Development Kit) is a software development kit to develop applications in Java. When you download JDK, JRE
    is also downloaded, and don't need to download it separately. In addition to  JRE, JDK also contains number of
    development tools (compilers, JavaDoc, Java Debugger etc).
