Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is a type of virtual machine that converts bytecode files written in the Java programming language into machine code. This allows the operating system (OS) to process and execute the program. The JVM serves crucial functions such as managing program memory and enabling Java programs to run on any device or OS. It works in tandem with the Java Development Kit (JDK), which provides the development platform, and the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), which executes and runs the Java program.
