Project Panama brings native code integration to Java

Project Panama, part of Java 22, introduces the foreign function memory API that allows developers to seamlessly integrate native code into their Java applications. With Project Panama, developers can bypass the need for writing complex JNI code and directly call C or C++ libraries from Java. This opens up possibilities for using existing native libraries, such as audio or video codecs, and simplifies the process of integrating with native code. The goal of Project Panama is to make it easier and more efficient for Java developers to work with native code, reducing the maintenance and overhead typically associated with native code integration.
