Chicory is a WebAssembly runtime designed specifically for the Java Virtual Machine, enabling developers to run Wasm modules entirely within Java applications without requiring native dependencies or JNI. Implemented in pure Java, it provides a portable and secure execution environment that can run anywhere the JVM is available, including cloud, desktop, and embedded systems. The runtime loads WebAssembly binaries and exposes their functions as callable Java APIs, allowing seamless integration with existing Java codebases. Chicory emphasizes simplicity and safety, ensuring that execution remains sandboxed while maintaining compatibility with standard WebAssembly features. Its design eliminates the need for external system libraries, making deployment straightforward and consistent across platforms. The project also supports integration into frameworks and build systems, enabling developers to embed Wasm-based functionality into larger applications.

Features

  • Pure Java WebAssembly runtime with no native dependencies
  • Execution of Wasm modules directly within JVM applications
  • Sandboxed and secure runtime environment
  • Exposure of Wasm exports as Java APIs
  • Cross-platform portability across any JVM-supported system
  • Easy integration into Java projects and frameworks

For developers in need of a tool to launch pricing plans faster and build better buying experiences

A monetization platform is a standalone middleware that sits between your application and your business applications, as part of the modern enterprise billing stack. Stigg unifies all the APIs and abstractions billing and platform engineers had to build and maintain in-house otherwise. Acting as your centralized source of truth, with a highly scalable and flexible entitlements management, rolling out any pricing and packaging change is now a self-service, risk-free, exercise.
