What is JNI?

The Java Native Interface (JNI) is a programming framework that allows Java code running in a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to call and be called by native applications (programs specific to a hardware and operating system platform) and libraries written in other languages, such as C, C++, and assembly. It's commonly used to access platform-specific features, improve performance-critical sections of code, or integrate with legacy systems.
