Devnexus 2025 - Project Panama Unleashing Native Libraries - Tobi Ajila

This talk explores how Project Panama facilitates seamless interaction between Java developers and native libraries. The speaker discusses the challenges of working with native code on the Java platform, particularly the complexities of writing Java Native Interface (JNI) code and handling native types without direct Java equivalents. Attendees will learn about the Foreign Function Interface (FFI) and Memory Access APIs introduced by Project Panama, which simplify this integration and enhance native interoperability for Java applications.
