2. Networking in Java (Sockets & Protocols)

Java provides a comprehensive API for network programming through the java.net package, enabling developers to create efficient client-server applications. It supports both TCP and UDP communication, offering reliability and speed, respectively. Multithreading is utilized for handling multiple clients concurrently, while Java's ability to interact with web protocols enhances its functionality for real-world applications.
