jaz

Java in Zig.

Parses Java class files and bytecode.

Taking it for a spin

To try out jaz for yourself, install jvm 16, then run the following commands:

# Compiles Java source
javac test/src/jaztest/*.java

# Adds user path to javastd
echo "pub const conf = .{.javastd_path = \"/path/to/javastd\"};" > src/conf.zig

# Runs demo
zig build run
