Jvm

The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is a critical component of the Java platform, responsible for running Java applications. The JVM performs functions such as compiling bytecode (generated from Java source code) into machine code for execution on actual hardware. It provides an environment that is independent of the operating system and hardware, allowing Java applications to run on various types of devices without changing the source code. The JVM also includes automatic memory management mechanisms, such as garbage collection, which help manage resources efficiently and minimize memory-related errors. Additionally, the JVM provides tools and libraries for monitoring and optimizing application performance.
