Java Virtual Machine – JVM

The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is a software engine that executes Java programs by converting compiled Java bytecode into machine code that the host computer can understand and execute. It enables Java applications to run on any device or operating system that has a compatible JVM installed, making Java platform-independent.

JVM is a core part of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), which includes libraries and components needed for Java applications to function. Beyond Java, JVM can also run programs written in other languages that compile to bytecode, such as Kotlin and Scala. It plays a critical role in performance management, memory allocation, and application security within IT systems.
