Java TV

Java TV is a Java-based software framework designed for use on TV set-top boxes, based on components called Xlets. It is currently used only on the Connected Device Configuration, specifically for iTV applications development.

The API includes the Xlet classes in the package javax.tv.xlet. Other packages of the public API include

1. javax.tv.graphics - provides a simple rendering canvas
2. javax.tv.locator - provides a locator in the style of a URL for services and media, such as service:/SERV1
3. javax.tv.service - defines a mechanism for service information (SI) databases and APIs representing the SI elements, such as the TV channels and media available for playback.
