What is card layout in Java?

A CardLayout object is a layout manager for a container. It treats each component in the container as a card. Only one card is visible at a time, and the container acts as a stack of cards. The first component added to a CardLayout object is the visible component when the container is first displayed.

Where is CardLayout used?

The CardLayout class manages two or more components (usually JPanel instances) that share the same display space. When using the CardLayout class, let the user choose between the components by using a combo box.

Which best describes a card layout?

CardLayout is a special layout manager for creating the effect of a stack of cards. Instead of arranging all of the container's components, it displays only one at a time. You might use this kind of layout to implement a hypercard stack or a Windows-style set of configuration screens.
