A JavaBean class is a special type of Java class that follows specific conventions, including having a no-argument constructor, private instance variables, and public getter and setter methods. These conventions allow JavaBeans to be easily manipulated in various environments like GUI frameworks or Java Enterprise applications. A JavaBean is typically used to represent an object that encapsulates data. Here’s a simple example:
public class Person {
private String name;
public Person() {} // No-argument constructor
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
JavaBeans are commonly used for representing data in applications.
