JavaCPP provides efficient access to native C++ inside Java, not unlike the way some C/C++ compilers interact with assembly language. No need to invent new languages such as with SWIG, SIP, C++/CLI, Cython, or RPython. Instead, similar to what cppyy strives to do for Python, it exploits the syntactic and semantic similarities between Java and C++. Under the hood, it uses JNI, so it works with all implementations of Java SE, in addition to Android, Avian, and RoboVM (instructions). More specifically, when compared to the approaches above or elsewhere (CableSwig, JNIGeneratorApp, cxxwrap, JNIWrapper, Platform Invoke, GlueGen, LWJGL Generator, JNIDirect, ctypes, JNA, JNIEasy, JniMarshall, JNative, J/Invoke, HawtJNI, JNR, BridJ, CFFI, fficxx, CppSharp, cgo, pybind11, rust-bindgen, Panama Native, etc.), it maps naturally and efficiently many common features afforded by the C++ language and often considered problematic, including overloaded operators, class and function templates, etc.

Features

  • Archives containing JAR files are available as releases
  • Another option available to Gradle users is Gradle JavaCPP
  • Requires OpenJDK
  • To modify the source code, files were created for Maven
  • JavaCPP generates appropriate code for JNI, and passes it to the C++ compiler
  • Optimize code performance
