What are the uses of JRE?

Some of the most prominent companies in the world, including Airbnb, Uber, LinkedIn, and Spotify use Java to create web and mobile applications. It is a relatively new, fast and secure programming language that also allows developers to create modular applications with reusable code.

However, the reason behind its popularity lies in that it is not platform dependent. This means that Java programs can easily run on a variety of computers, as long as they have Java Runtime Environment installed.

Using Java, developers can create a software application on one operating system and make it available to users running another operating system. For example, a Java application created on Windows will run without any hiccups on a Mac or Linux computer. The only requirement is that all JRE devices have been installed.

Due to the platform portability, Java is used to create billions of games, applications, and services. Many medical devices, printers, navigation systems, cell phones and PCs also use Java.
