Even to a well-seasoned Java guru, foreign functions in native interfaces and libraries can seem scary, and until recently, they were! But no longer, because the FFI API opens up access to native libraries, AI, software drivers, native networking, hardware and the operating system itself without leaving the comfort of the JVM. Learn how to interface with some of these systems and manage native memory in a way that effortlessly fits into the Java paradigms and way of working.
