What Is Java Heap Memory?

Java Heap Memory is a crucial component of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that is responsible for the allocation and storage of objects during the execution of a Java application. The heap is created when the JVM starts up and is a shared portion of memory that is divided into smaller regions or blocks. Objects of different sizes are stored in these blocks, and the heap is managed by the Garbage Collector, which automatically frees up memory by removing objects that are no longer referenced by the application.
