PACKAGES & ACCESS PROTECTION

Java Packages
Package in Java is a mechanism to encapsulate a
group of classes, sub packages and interfaces.

The package keyword is used to create a package in


java.

They allow you to group related classes, interfaces,


and sub-packages together, making your application
more modular, maintainable, and secure.

1. A java package is a group of similar types of classes, interfaces and sub-packages.


2. Package in java can be categorized in two form, built-in package and user-defined package.
3. There are many built-in packages such as java, lang, awt, , net, io, util, sql etc.
4. Every class is part of some package.
5. We can access public classes in another (named) package using: package-name.class-name
Subpackages

• Package inside the package is called the


subpackage.
• It should be created to categorize the
package further.
• These are not imported by default, they have
to imported explicitly.
• Also, members of a subpackage have no
access privileges, i.e., they are considered as
different package for protected and default
access specifiers.
Advantages of Java Packages
1 Categorization 2 Access Protection
Java packages help categorize your classes and Packages provide access control, allowing you
interfaces, making it easier to maintain and to control the visibility and accessibility of

3 Naming Collision Prevention 4 Encapsulation


Packages help prevent naming conflicts by Packages can be considered a form of data
providing a unique namespace for your classes encapsulation, hiding the implementation
and interfaces. details of your classes from the outside world.
How to access package from another package?

Import the Package 1


Use the import package.*; syntax to
import all classes from a package.
2 Import the Class
Use the import package.ClassName;

Use the fully qualified name, such as
package.ClassName, to access a class

Built-in Java Packages
Pre-defined packages and these packages contain large numbers of classes and interfaces that we used in java are
known as Built-in packages.

User Defined Packages


These are the packages that are defined by the user.
Access Protection in
Java

1. Access Protection is a mechanism that


controls the visibility and accessibility of
class members(fields, methods and
constructors) from other classes.
2. In java, the access modifiers define the
accessibility of the class and its members.
3. In java, the package is a container of classes,
sub-classes, interfaces, and sub-packages.
4. The class acts as a container of data and
methods.
5. So, the access modifier decides the
accessibility of class members across the
different packages.
