Armor can be made out of these materials: Leather, Gold ingots, iron ingots, diamonds.
Leather is the weakest, Gold is somewhat stronger but it has very low durability, iron is somewhat in the middle, and diamond armor is by far the strongest.
Chain armor also exists, but it is impossible to craft. You need to get it as a rare drop from killing Zombies, or by villager trading.
