JEP 419: Foreign Function and Memory API

• JNA

  22 8,247 7.8 Java

  Java Native Access

  

This is about calling into any native operating system APIs, as long as they are callable via C or C++ (which these days means "all" operating system APIs).

JNI is somewhat harder to use, because you need custom glue on both sides of the border: Some custom classes in Java and some custom code on the C (and C++) side.

This proposal would remove the need for the glue on the C side and would allow a pure java solution.

Something like this has existed in third-party form for a while as JNA (https://github.com/java-native-access/jna), but now it's going to be built into the JRE itself (if the proposal passes through review)

  Flexible tool to build planet-scale vector tilesets from OpenStreetMap data fast

  

I recently found this approach: https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler/blob/main/planetile... but I’m hoping this api will eventually let you do that without an external dependency or writing/compiling C connectors.
