Java Platform, Micro Edition

Java Platform, Micro Edition or Java ME is a <a href="/facts/Computing_platform/DmKwp5Bk">computing platform</a> for development and deployment of <a href="/facts/Porting/7s6tFs8B">portable code</a> for <a href="/facts/Embedded_system/a4muX1wU">embedded</a> and <a href="/facts/Mobile_device/cNS1Rhvg">mobile devices</a> (micro-controllers, sensors, gateways, mobile phones, personal digital assistants, TV set-top boxes, printers). Java ME was formerly known as Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition or J2ME. 
The platform uses the <a href="/facts/Object-oriented_programming/TxNMEcao">object-oriented</a> <a href="/facts/Java_(programming_language)/9ScgFyAL">Java</a> programming language, and is part of the <a href="/facts/Java_(software_platform)/fpn6x8WL">Java software-platform</a> family. It was designed by <a href="/facts/Sun_Microsystems/VJ9EzEFd">Sun Microsystems</a> (now <a href="/facts/Oracle_Corporation/0z14FygH">Oracle Corporation</a>) and replaced a similar technology, <a href="/facts/PersonalJava/X4pu7Umf">PersonalJava</a>.
In 2013, with more than 3 billion Java ME enabled mobile phones in the market, the platform was in continued decline as smartphones have overtaken feature phones.
