JavaFX is Java s next-generation client platform and GUI framework, that is designed as a replacement for Swing. To better handle this types of GUIs, a new approach was needed, and this lead to the creation of JavaFX. Also, no matter the type of application, the trend is toward more exciting visual effects. Today, consumer applications and especially mobile apps, are taking over the scene, and this kind of applications often demand a GUI that is more visual and that it has more eye appealing visual characteristics. However, Swing was designed when the enterprise application dominated software development. Swing was so successful that it has remained the primary Java GUI framework for nearly two decades.
Because of its several limitations, it was soon followed by Swing, which offered a far superior approach in creating GUIs. The original GUI framework in Java was the AWT ( Abstract Window Toolkit). These separate libraries include media, UI controls, WebView, 3D, and 2D APIs.
JavaFX is a set of graphics and a media package that enables developers to design, create, test, debug, and deploy rich client applications that operate consistently across diverse platforms, in one bundle, without the need for many separate libraries, frameworks, and APIs to achieve the same goal.
