What is JVM
The Java virtual machine executes instructions that a Java compiler generates.Java Virtual Machine is the base for the Java platform and is ported onto various hardware-based platforms. Every Java interpreter, whether it's a development tool or a Web browser that can run applets, is an implementation of the Java VM.
The Java virtual machine has n knowledge of the Java programming language. It understands a particular binary format, the class file format. A class file contains Java virtual machine instructions (or byte-codes) and a symbol table and other supportive information. JVM imposes strong security by having format and structural constraints on a class file. This leads to an interesting outcome: any language with functionality that can be expressed in terms of a valid class file can be hosted by the Java virtual machine.
