In Java, the ClassLoader hierarchy consists of three main types:
1. Bootstrap ClassLoader (also known as Primordial ClassLoader): It loads classes that are part of the JDK itself and is not user-accessible.
2. Extension ClassLoader: It's used to load classes from the extension directory under the JRE's lib directory. It searches for a class by looking in its extensions directory before asking its parent, the system class loader.
3. System ClassLoader: It loads all the user-defined classes and searches for them in the classpath that is specified during the JVM startup. It uses the CLASSPATH environment variable or command line arguments.
