Question
What is difference between List < ? > and List < Object > in Java

Answers

List < ? > is List of unknown type while List< Object > is essentially List of any Type.
You can assign List< String >, List< Integer > to List< ? > but you can not assign List< String > to List< Object >.

This is because List< Object > can store any any thing including String, Integer etc but List< String > can only store Strings.   Your Comment
