Java Classes Interview Question:

What is Class Loader?

Submitted by: Administrator

Class loaders are one of the cornerstones of the Java virtual machine (JVM) architecture. They enable the JVM to load classes without knowing anything about the underlying file system semantics, and they allow applications to dynamically load Java classes as extension modules.A class loader is an object that is responsible for loading classes. The class ClassLoader is an abstract class. Given the name of a class, a class loader should attempt to locate or generate data that constitutes a definition for the class. A typical strategy is to transform the name into a file name and then read a "class file" of that name from a file system.
