What is exact difference between an API(Application Programming Interface) and a Package?
I suspect you’re getting confused because of something like this. This is the API and contains 0 code. It describes how the packages should be laid out, but they really are different.
A package is how your organize and group your classes together. For example java.awt.datatransfer.Clipboard has a package of java.awt.datatransfer.
An API is just a specification. It describes how something should work.
Hope that helps.
