'''<span lang="tr" dir="ltr">Swing</span>''' is a [[Graphical user interface|GUI]] [[widget toolkit]] for [[Java (programming language)|Java]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.techopedia.com/definition/26102/java-swing|title=What is Java Swing? - Definition from Techopedia|work=Techopedia Inc.|access-date=2018-11-03|language=en}}</ref> It is part of [[Oracle Corporation|Oracle]]'s [[Java Foundation Classes]] (JFC)&nbsp;&ndash; an [[Application programming interface|API]] for providing a [[graphical user interface]] (GUI) for Java programs.

Swing was developed to provide a more sophisticated set of GUI [[Software component|components]] than the earlier [[Abstract Window Toolkit|Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT)]]. Swing provides a [[look and feel]] that emulates the look and feel of several platforms, and also supports a [[pluggable look and feel]] that allows applications to have a look and feel unrelated to the underlying platform. It has more powerful and flexible components than AWT. In addition to familiar components such as buttons, check boxes and labels, Swing provides several advanced components such as tabbed panel, scroll panes, trees, tables, and lists.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://cs.nyu.edu/~yap/classes/visual/03s/lect/l7/|title=JAVA SWING GUI TUTORIAL|last=Yap|first=Chee|date=2003-04-30|website=[[New York University]] (NYU)|access-date=2018-11-03}}</ref>
