CVM

A toy Java Virtual Machine coded in C. CVM is a simple and lightweight JVM that aims to provide a basic understanding of JVM internals and bytecode execution. This project serves as an educational and fun resource for those interested in learning about JVM implementation details.

Features

• Implementation of a minimalistic JVM in C
• Support for executing Java bytecode
• Basic class loading and method execution
• Instruction set interpretation
