Java Collection Framework

The Java Collection Framework offers a set of interfaces and classes for managing collections of objects, including key interfaces like Collection, List, Set, Queue, and Map. It provides various implementations such as ArrayList, LinkedList, HashMap, and HashSet, along with methods for iterating, sorting, and searching collections. The framework emphasizes advantages like reusability, performance, and flexibility while encouraging best practices like choosing the right collection and implementing generics.
