Java applets

Java applets are small Java programs that run in web browsers, embedded in HTML and executed in the Java Virtual Machine. They feature secure execution, platform independence, and can handle graphics and animations, but are now deprecated due to security issues and lack of support in modern browsers. Alternatives like JavaFX and HTML5 have emerged to replace applets for web interactivity.
