A Java class that follows certain design conventions is called a JavaBean.

Characteristics of a JavaBean:

• Private properties: The class has private fields (properties) that represent the state of the object.
• Public getter and setter methods: The class provides public methods to access and modify the properties. These are usually named getPropertyName() and setPropertyName().
• No-arg constructor: The class provides a public no-argument constructor.
• Serializable: The class should implement the Serializable interface, allowing it to be serialized.

JavaBeans are used for encapsulation and are commonly used in development frameworks like JavaServer Pages (JSP) for managing user interface components and data.
