{{Short description|APIs for Java programming language}}
The '''Java Platform Debugger Architecture''' (JPDA) is a collection of [[API]]s to [[debugging|debug]] [[Java (programming language)|Java]] code.

* Java Debugger Interface (JDI) – defines a high-level Java language interface that developers can easily use to write remote debugger application tools.
* [[Java Virtual Machine Tools Interface]] (JVMTI) – a native interface that helps to inspect the state and to control the execution of applications running in the [[Java virtual machine|Java Virtual Machine]] ([[JVM]]).
* Java Virtual Machine Debug Interface (JVMDI) – ''JVMDI was deprecated in J2SE 5.0 in favor of JVM TI, and was removed in Java SE 6.''
* [[Java Debug Wire Protocol]] (JDWP) – defines communication between [[debugger]] and debuggee (a Java application) processes.

==Java Debugger Interface (JDI)==
JDI is the highest-layer of the Java Platform Debugger Architecture. It allows to access the [[Java virtual machine|JVM]] and the internal variables of the debugged program. It also allows to set [[breakpoint]]s, [[stepping (debugging)|stepping]], and handle threads.<ref>{{cite web
