1. **Swing**:
- Swing is a set of GUI components provided by Java for building desktop applications.
- It offers a wide range of components, including buttons, labels, text fields, text areas, checkboxes,
radio buttons, lists, tables, menus, dialogs, and more.
- Swing follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture, where the UI components (views) are
separate from the underlying data (model) and application logic (controller).
- Swing applications are typically built by subclassing Swing components and arranging them in
containers such as JFrame, JPanel, JDialog, etc.
- Event handling in Swing is done using listeners, where actions performed on UI components (e.g.,
button clicks) trigger corresponding event handlers.
2. **JavaFX**:
- JavaFX is a modern GUI toolkit for Java applications, offering a rich set of features and improved
performance compared to Swing.
- It provides a scene graph-based API for building GUIs, allowing developers to create visually
appealing and interactive user interfaces.
- JavaFX supports features like CSS styling, animations, 3D graphics, multimedia, and scene transitions.
- UI components in JavaFX are called "nodes," and they are organized in a hierarchical structure known
as the scene graph.
- JavaFX applications are typically built using FXML for defining the UI layout and controllers for
handling user interactions and application logic.
- Event handling in JavaFX is similar to Swing, where event handlers are registered to respond to user
actions.
import javax.swing.*;
// Create a JFrame
frame.setSize(300, 200);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setVisible(true);
```
And here's a simple example of creating a basic GUI window using JavaFX:
```java
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
@Override
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
launch(args);
}
```
These are just simple examples to get you started. Depending on your requirements, you can create
more complex GUIs by adding components, layout managers, event handling, and other features
provided by Swing or JavaFX.
