• java.sql - Defines the JDBC API.

• java.sql.rowset - Defines the JDBC RowSet API.

java.transaction.xa Defines an API for supporting distributed transactions in JDBC. java.xml Defines the Java API for XML Processing (JAXP), the Streaming API for XML (StAX), the Simple API for XML (SAX), and the W3C Document Object Model (DOM) API. java.xml.crypto Defines the API for XML cryptography.

The Java Development Kit (JDK) APIs are specific to the JDK and will not necessarily be available in all Java implementations of the Java SE Platform. These Java APIs are in Java modules whose names start with jdk.
