+# org.apache.catalina
+
+## Overview
+
+The `org.apache.catalina` package implements the Catalina Servlet container,
+which is responsible for hosting web applications and managing their lifecycle.
+
+Catalina provides the core implementation of the Jakarta Servlet
+specification and forms the heart of Apache Tomcat.
+
+---
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+This package includes components responsible for:
+
+- Managing the server hierarchy
+- Deploying web applications
+- Processing servlet requests
+- Managing sessions
+		  
+							 
+- Lifecycle management
+- Container event processing
+
+---
+
+## Container Hierarchy
+
+```
+Server
+ └── Service
+      ├── Connector
+      └── Engine
+            └── Host
+                  └── Context
+                        └── Wrapper (Servlet)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Important Interfaces
+
+| Interface | Purpose |
+|------------|---------|
+| Container | Base interface for Catalina containers |
+| Context | Represents a web application |
+| Host | Represents a virtual host |
+| Engine | Top-level request processor |
+| Pipeline | Request processing chain |
+| Valve | Request interceptor |
+| Lifecycle | Start/stop components |

+# org.apache.coyote
+
+## Overview
+
+The `org.apache.coyote` package provides the protocol implementation layer
+between the network connector and the Catalina servlet container.
+
+It is responsible for translating incoming protocol requests into servlet
+requests that Catalina can process.
+
+---
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+- HTTP/1.1 processing
+- HTTP/2 support
+- AJP protocol
+- Request parsing
+- Response generation
+- Protocol abstraction
