JavaFX

JavaFX is a modern, rich client application platform for desktop, mobile, and embedded systems, built on Java. It provides a set of graphics and media APIs for creating visually engaging user interfaces with features like 2D/3D graphics, animation, and CSS styling. It serves as the successor to Swing and AWT in the Java ecosystem for building cross-platform GUI applications.
