The JVM(Java Virtual Machine) is the


environment in which Java programs
execute.
It is a software that is implemented on top of
real hardware and operating system.
When the source code (.java files) is
compiled, it is translated into byte codes and
then placed into (.class) files. The JVM
executes these bytecodes.
Java Application programming interface (Java API).

Java API is a set of software components that


provides the facilities you need to develop
fully fledge interactive applications in java.
