Java Bytecode


Java Bytecode is a low-level, platform-independent representation of Java programs. It is the intermediate code that the Java compiler generates and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) executes.

Instead of compiling Java source code directly into machine-specific instructions, the Java compiler (javac) produces Bytecode stored in .class files. This approach enables Java applications to run on any device with a compatible JVM, adhering to the “write once, run anywhere” principle. Bytecode ensures that Java applications maintain consistent behavior across various platforms, making it ideal for enterprise and cross-platform software development in IT environments.
