Package (computing)
Most generally a
package is a
box, or such, containing something (perhaps, a
present).
In
computing,
package is a programming term. In the
Perl or
Java programming languages, and in the
Unified Modeling Language, a package can contain objects. It is equivalent to a container in
Visual Basic.
Thus this type of package is more like the plastic bag which contains the groceries, than the package delivered by the postman.
In
computing, a
package is a type of file format to package software installation material. See
software package for more.
