| Using the Java Native Interface
The Java language's main benefit is the portability of Java applications across
hardware platforms and operating systems. But some applications can't be written entirely in Java: The standard Java class libraries might not support a required platform-specific feature or library; you might prefer to implement time-critical code in a lower-level, faster language, or you might want to leverage legacy code assets. The Java Native Interface (JNI) within the Java platform enables Java and "native" (non-Java) code to interoperate. Using JNI entails certain trade-offs, beyond loss of application portability. This knowledge path is designed to help all Java developers use JNI safely and efficiently.
