In Java, a wrapper class is a class that wraps (or "encapsulates") a primitive data type so that it can be used as an object. Java provides a wrapper class for each of the eight primitive data types:

  • Byte
  • Short
  • Integer
  • Long
  • Float
  • Double
  • Character
  • Boolean

For example, the wrapper class for the int primitive data type is Integer, the wrapper class for the char primitive data type is Character, and so on.
