Summary:One of the main design goals of Scala is to run on a JVM and provide interoperability with Java. The need for Scala and Java interoperabilityJava interoperabilitydefinition arises when you want to use existing Java libraries or frameworks. Scala code is often used in tandem with large Java programs and frameworks. Even though integration with Java is easy for the most part, we encourage you to use pure Scala as much as possible.
