Avian
A lightweight Java Virtual Machine and class library for building self-contained applications.
What is Avian?
Avian is a lightweight Java Virtual Machine and class library that provides a subset of Java's features for building self-contained applications. It allows developers to embed Java code directly into native executables, eliminating the need for a separate JRE installation. The project targets scenarios where minimal footprint and portability are critical.
Developers building embedded systems, standalone desktop applications, or mobile apps (including iOS) who need a minimal Java runtime without the overhead of a full JVM.
Avian offers a significantly smaller footprint than standard JVMs while maintaining Java compatibility for common use cases. Its embeddable design and support for ahead-of-time compilation make it ideal for creating self-contained executables that start quickly and run on multiple platforms.
