There are two types of [[Java (programming language)|Java programming language]] [[Application programming interface|application programming interfaces (APIs)]]:

* The official core Java API, contained in the Android (Google), SE (OpenJDK and Oracle), [[MicroEJ]]. These packages (java.* packages) are the core Java language packages, meaning that programmers using the Java language had to use them in order to make any worthwhile use of the Java language.

* Optional APIs that can be downloaded separately. The specification of these APIs are defined according to many different organizations in the world (Alljoyn, OSGi, Eclipse, JCP, E-S-R, etc.).

;Windowing libraries

The windowing library is a set of classes available in

the Streams Processing Language (SPL) Runtime C++ API and the SPL Java™ Operator API. The library is

used to implement primitive operators that need windows following

the SPL window semantics. Using the windowing library provides a consistent

window policy semantic across operators, and simplifies the operator

implementation.

SPL offers both tumbling and sliding windows. Both types of windows

keep all the incoming data in memory until its tuple eviction policy

triggers. Use the SPL support for windows when the functionality required

by the primitive operator can be built using the semantics provided

by SPL window constructs.

One example operator from the SPL Standard Toolkit that uses the

windowing library and syntax is the <kbd>Aggregate</kbd> operator.

An example operator that buffers recently received tuples but that

does not use the windowing library and syntax is the <kbd>DeDuplicate</kbd> operator.

This action occurs because this operator has different eviction and

trigger semantics than the ones provided by SPL. This operator needs

to maintain only unique tuples and discards all repeated tuples that

are received within a time window.

With the windowing library, developers can specify different eviction

and trigger policies but can implement the event handling actions

independently of the window policy details. There are a few differences

when implementing primitive operators in C++ and Java that take advantage of the SPL window clause.

In the C++ implementation, developers have no obligation to use

the window library (the preferred practice is to use library). They

are free to use the SPL Operator Code Generation API just to get the

specified window policy for a given operator instance. Then, they

can generate code using other containers. In addition, developers

can check for valid window configurations during code generation time.

In the Java implementation,

developers must use the window library. This action can be achieved

by registering a class that implements <kbd>com.ibm.streams.operator.window.StreamWindowListener<T></kbd> that

handles events generated by a window <kbd>(com.ibm.streams.operator.window.StreamWindow<T></kbd>).

This use is required because Java operators

are not based on code generation. As a result, windows are automatically

managed by the runtime to guarantee SPL window semantics. Developers

can check for valid window configurations during runtime by checking

the window policy associated to a given input port.
