Difference Between JDK and JRE in Java

JDK

JDK stands for Java Development Kit. It is a software development environment used to develop Java applications and applets. It is a platform-specific software i.e there are separate installers for Windows, Mac, and Unix systems. Java developers can use it on their Windows, macOS, Solaris, and Linux to code and run Java programs. It contains Java Runtime Environment(JRE)and other development tools like an interpreter, compiler, archiver, and a document generator. We can possibly install more than one JDK version on the same computer.
