#1 Mastering Java Class Loaders: Dynamic Class Loading and Custom Class Loaders | Part-1

Class loaders are an essential component of the Java Virtual Machine that enables Java programs to load classes dynamically. A class loader is responsible for loading Java classes and interfaces from external sources such as files, directories, or network locations.
This video covers the fundamentals of Java class loaders, their hierarchy, and class loading mechanism.

(check if class was already loaded): Application asks -> Extension asks -> Bootstrap

If Bootstrap can't find that the class was loaded, it tries to load the class or it delegates for Extension?
