The solution for converting Java clients to HTML5
100% of Java SE
Reflections, proxy classes, multi-threading are all supported thanks to unique technical solutions.
Performance oriented
Based on both WebAssembly and highly-optimised JavaScript, CheerpJ can achieve excellent runtime performance and a small download footprint.
Full runtime environment
Based on a full, unmodified OpenJDK runtime environment: supports Swing, Filesystem, Audio, Printing.
First class HTML5 interoperability
Access the DOM, WebAPIs (e.g. WebGL, WebAudio) and browser resources from Java. Make Java calls from JavaScript.
Browsers as compilation target
CheerpJ converts your Java client into a standard HTML5, automatically. No longer ask your end users to maintain a local Java installation.
Convert or migrate
Convert full applications or individual components (such as libraries) and expose JavaScript APIs to use them from HTML5.
Three key components
Ahead-of-Time
compilation
The CheerpJ compiler processes your Java bytecode ahead of time, generating optimised JavaScript that can run on any browser.
CheerpJ Runtime
In parallel to your converted application, deploy a higly-optimised runtime in WebAssembly and JavaScript, keeping 100% of the execution client-side. Based on a full unmodified build of OpenJDK .
On-line
CheerpJ Java compiler
Whenever new classes are generated (e.g. through proxy classes), CheerpJ will convert them on the fly for you.
Thanks to these three components, CheerpJ provides a seamless experience of executing a converted Java application on any browser, fully client-side. No plugins and no installation are required from the user.
Our partnership with Leaning Technologies is a major resource for Blackbird, accelerating the development of the Blackbird editor in JavaScript editor by many months. This innovation ensures Blackbird will continue to provide best-in-class efficiency in video production workflows for the foreseeable future.
