Use the foreign functiona and memory API to safely work with native memory and call native libraries directly from Java (without using C) and even call back to Java from native libraries. The command-line tool jextract automatically analyzes native libraries and generates Java bindings for you. This way, you can be up and running with AI inference in Java in no time.

Java now supports safe native memory access and direct calls to native libraries without writing C code, using the Foreign Memory and Function API. The Jextract tool can automatically analyze native libraries and generate Java bindings in minutes. These capabilities also enable calling back to Java from native code with improved performance, and can be used to run AI inference directly from Java applications.
