JavaCPP is a Java library that provides efficient access to native C++ from Java via JNI, bridging the two languages by exploiting their syntactic and semantic similarities. It includes a Maven plugin and supports Java SE, Android, Avian, and RoboVM.
Use cases
- call C++ code from Java
- create Java bindings for a native C++ library
- avoid writing JNI boilerplate by hand
- use native libraries on Android from Java
- interoperate between Java and C++ without SWIG
When to choose
- you need high-performance access to existing C++ libraries from Java
- you want automated JNI binding generation rather than hand-written native code
- you target multiple platforms including Android
When to avoid
- you only need simple C bindings and prefer JNA's pure-Java approach
- your project is pure Java with no native dependencies
- you need bindings for languages other than C++
