{{Main|Java applet}}

A Java applet is a Java program that is launched from HTML and run in a web browser. It takes code from server and run in a web browser. It can provide web applications with interactive features that cannot be provided by HTML. Since Java's [[bytecode]] is platform-independent, Java applets can be executed by browsers running under many platforms, including [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], [[Unix]], [[macOS]], and [[Linux]]. When a Java technology-enabled web browser processes a page that contains an applet, the applet's [[code]] is transferred to the client's system and executed by the browser's [[Java virtual machine]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=October 5, 2023 |title=Applets |url=https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/applets.html |access-date=October 5, 2023 |website=oracle.com}}</ref> An HTML page references an applet either via the [[Deprecation|deprecated]] [[HTML element#applet|{{tag|applet|o}} tag]] or via its replacement, the [[HTML element#object|{{tag|object|o}} tag]].<ref>[https://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_applet.asp "HTML applet tag"], W3Schools.
