The `JarFile` class in `java.util.jar` is a class in the Java Development Kit (JDK) that represents a JAR (Java Archive) file. A JAR file is a compressed file format that packages multiple Java class files, associated metadata, and resources into a single file.
The `JarFile` class provides methods to access and manipulate the contents of a JAR file. It allows developers to read the entries (such as class files, directories, and non-class files) in the JAR file, extract specific files or the entire contents, and obtain information about the JAR file itself, such as its manifest.
This class is commonly used in Java applications that handle JAR files, such as build tools, application servers, and frameworks. It offers a convenient way to access and manipulate the contents of JAR files programmatically, providing flexibility and control in working with these archive files.
