# Package javax.swing.table

package javax.swing.table
Provides classes and interfaces for dealing with `javax.swing.JTable`. `JTable` is Swing's grid or tabular view for constructing user interfaces for tabular data structures inside an application. Use this package if you want control over how tables are constructed, updated, and rendered, as well as how data associated with the tables are viewed and managed.

Note: Most of the Swing API is not thread safe. For details, see Concurrency in Swing, a section in The Java Tutorial.
