• Daemon threads are considered as threads that run in the background and they are generally used as service providers for user threads. For example, the Java garbage collector is a daemon thread. When all the user threads of a program die, the JVM terminates the garbage collector and shuts down the program. Therefore, you should not use daemon threads to run your program's code but instead to provide some sorts of services to user threads.
