native-lib-loader
A Java utility for extracting and loading platform-specific native libraries from JAR files.
What is native-lib-loader?
Native Library Loader is a Java utility designed to extract and load platform-specific native libraries from JAR files. It solves the problem of manually managing different native binaries for various operating systems and architectures by automatically detecting the runtime environment and loading the correct library. This simplifies deployment and ensures compatibility across Windows, Linux, macOS, and AIX systems.
Java developers who need to integrate native libraries (e.g., for performance-critical tasks or hardware access) into their applications and want a cross-platform solution. It is particularly useful for library authors distributing Java packages with native dependencies.
Developers choose Native Library Loader because it eliminates the boilerplate code required to handle native library loading across different platforms, reducing errors and maintenance overhead. Its simple API and support for a wide range of architectures make it a reliable, lightweight solution compared to manual implementations.
