The Arrays class in Java provides static methods to work with arrays, including creating and accessing arrays dynamically. It contains only static utility methods that operate on arrays, such as sorting arrays, searching arrays, comparing arrays for equality, and creating fixed-size lists backed by arrays. The Arrays class inherits from Object and contains methods like asList(), binarySearch(), equals(), and sort() for common array operations.
