javaxswingtableTableModel

javax.swing.JTable is a fundamental component in Java Swing used for displaying data in a tabular format. It allows users to view and interact with information organized into rows and columns. A JTable is typically populated with data from a table model, which separates the data itself from its presentation. This model can be a simple array or a more complex object that manages data updates.

Users can interact with a JTable in several ways. By default, it supports selecting rows, columns, or individual cells. It can also be configured to allow editing of cell values. The appearance of the JTable can be customized extensively. This includes setting column widths, sorting columns, rendering cell content with different icons or text styles, and applying custom table headers.

Beyond basic display, JTable offers features like cell renderers and cell editors. Cell renderers control how data in a cell is visually presented, allowing for things like color coding or displaying images. Cell editors enable in-place editing of cell content, providing a user-friendly way to modify data directly within the table. JTable is a powerful and flexible component for presenting structured data within Java applications.
