Java is a high-level object-oriented programming language developed by the Sun Microsystems. Though it is associated with the World Wide Web but it is older than the origin of Web.
While the JFormattedTextField component looks like JTextField, it acts completely different. In the simplest case, you can provide an input mask like "(###) ###-####" for a telephone number, and it will not accept any input that doesn't follow that format. In more complicated cases, there is both a display formatter and an input formatter. For example, the default date formatter permits scrolling through the available months or days based upon where the cursor is located while editing.
When working with JFormattedTextField, acceptable input is either explicitly specified by the mask or specified by a value for the component. In the latter case, the component uses the Factory design pattern to look up the default formatters for the class of the specified value. The DefaultFormatterFactory component comes with preinstalled formatters for dates, numbers, java.text.Format subclasses, and a catchall formatter for everything else
