Modularity is a general concept. In software, it applies to writing and implementing a program or computing system as a number of unique modules, rather than as a single, monolithic design. A standardized interface is then used to enable the modules to communicate.
A module must provide a module descriptor—metadata that specifies the module's dependencies, the packages the module makes available to other modules, and more.
A module descriptor is the compiled version of a module declaration that's defined in a file named module-info. java .
