Java is a general-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.

It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere" (WORA), meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation.

Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture.

As of 2016, Java is one of the most popular programming languages in use, particularly for client-server web applications, with a reported 9 million developers.

Java was originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (which has since been acquired by Oracle Corporation) and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform.

The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++, but it has fewer low-level facilities than either of them.

Data conversion is the conversion of computer data from one format to another.

Throughout a computer environment, data is encoded in a variety of ways.

For example, computer hardware is built on the basis of certain standards, which requires that data contains, for example, parity bit checks.

Similarly, the operating system is predicated on certain standards for data and file handling.

Furthermore, each computer program handles data in a different manner.

Whenever any one of these variables is changed, data must be converted in some way before it can be used by a different computer, operating system or program.

Even different versions of these elements usually involve different data structures.

For example, the changing of bits from one format to another, usually for the purpose of application interoperability or of capability of using new features, is merely a data conversion.

Data conversions may be as simple as the conversion of a text file from one character encoding system to another; or more complex, such as the conversion of office file formats, or the conversion of image and audio file formats.

The Portable Document Format (commonly referred to as PDF) is a file format used to present documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems.

Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed to display it.

In computer science, a library is a collection of non-volatile resources used by computer programs, often to develop software.

These may include configuration data, documentation, help data, message templates, pre-written code and subroutines, classes, values or type specifications.

In IBM's OS/360 and its successors they are referred to as partitioned data sets.

A software developer is a person concerned with facets of the software development process, including the research, design, programming, and testing of computer software.

Other job titles which are often used with similar meanings are programmer, software analyst, and software engineer.
