Packages

In Java, we use packages to organize and manage our Java files:

• If you are used to the concept of namespaces, packages serve essentially the same purpose in Java.
• Packages are not unlike the traditional folders that you use every day on your computer for organizing your files.
• By nesting packages and files, we can create a hierarchy that allows us to identify specific files and avoid naming conflicts.

The package keyword will be located at the top of a Java file, typically on the first line of the file, before the imports and class name. For example:

package project.src.api
