All the interfaces and classes has different purpose. You can perform add, edit, delete, search, sort, etc operations on group of objects as per class's methods and implementation.

Main Advantages Of Collection Framework

• Main advantage of collection framework is it will reduces your programming efforts as there are ready made interfaces, classes and their methods which you can use directly in your program to perform operation on object collection. 
• Collection is well structure framework so you code quality and speed will be increased.
• Anyone can use collection very easily as it's interfaces, classes and methods very easy to understand and use.
