## Uses of Interface
java.lang.Comparable

Packages that use Comparable
java.io | Provides for system input and output through data streams, serialization and the file system.
java.lang | Provides classes that are fundamental to the design of the Java programming language.
java.math | Provides classes for performing arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic (BigInteger) and arbitrary-precision decimal arithmetic (BigDecimal).
java.net | Provides the classes for implementing networking applications.
java.nio | Defines buffers, which are containers for data, and provides an overview of the other NIO packages.
java.nio.charset | Defines charsets, decoders, and encoders, for translating between bytes and Unicode characters.
java.sql | Provides the API for accessing and processing data stored in a data source (usually a relational database) using the JavaTM programming language.
java.text | Provides classes and interfaces for handling text, dates, numbers, and messages in a manner independent of natural languages.
java.util | Contains the collections framework, legacy collection classes, event model, date and time facilities, internationalization, and miscellaneous utility classes (a string tokenizer, a random-number generator, and a bit array).
javax.imageio.metadata | A package of the Java Image I/O API dealing with reading and writing metadata.
javax.swing | Provides a set of "lightweight" (all-Java language) components that, to the maximum degree possible, work the same on all platforms.
javax.swing.text | Provides classes and interfaces that deal with editable and noneditable text components.

Uses of Comparable in java.io

Uses of Comparable in java.sql

Classes in java.sql that implement Comparable
`class` | `Time` A thin wrapper around the `java.util.Date` class that allows the JDBC API to identify this as an SQL `TIME` value.
