The Java API is an extensive collection of library routines (written in the Java programming language or in native code) that perform basic tasks such as GUI display and manipulation, sorting and countless others.

The libraries make it considerably easier to program in Java than in C++, according to some software development methodologists;

however, other experts attribute the difference primarily to the presence of garbage collection because common libraries for other languages often have similar function to the Java API.
