Each of these two frameworks shows, in its way, the benefit of using OOP by creating an abstraction from implementation.
It is a kind of lazy evaluation that refers specifically to the instantiation of objects or other resources.

They are similar to protocols.Interfaces are declared using the interface keyword, and may only contain method signature and constant declarations (variable declarations that are declared to be both static and final).
Component Object Model (COM) is a binary-interface technology for software components from Microsoft that enables using objects in a language-neutral way between different programming languages, programming contexts, processes and machines.
The bootstrap class loader loads the core Java libraries [fn 1] located in the <JAVA_HOME>/jre/lib (or <JAVA_HOME>/jmods> for Java 9 and above) directory. This class loader, which is part of the core JVM, is written in native code. The bootstrap class loader is not associated with any ClassLoader object. [2]

This was a very significant ...
