  "why_use_this": "OpenJDK is the open-source reference implementation of Java, providing a complete development environment for building and running Java applications. Install this if you need a JDK for compilation and development; it\u0027s keg-only because macOS includes its own JVM, but this formula gives you explicit version control and is often required by build tools and other formulae."
