IKVM Viewer

The IKVM Viewer provides static analysis of IKVM-generated assemblies to determine how Java bytecode maps to the .NET runtime. It identifies compatible types, detects problematic Java features, and quantifies overall compatibility with a clear score. Conceptually, the tool treats Java libraries as a translated surface into CLR types, evaluating method signatures, generics, and exception handling for portability. Beneficiaries include backend engineers porting Java modules, architecture leads planning migrations, and QA teams validating cross-language consistency. Core value lies in early risk signaling, actionable mappings, and automation-ready outputs that reduce rework. Key features include type-mapping reports, per-class compatibility notes, and exportable JSON reports for build pipelines. Use cases cover port planning, dependency risk assessment, and targeted debugging of cross-language interfaces. The tool differentiates itself by combining structured mapping with risk scoring, enabling precise remediation guidance and faster decision-making during IKVM-based projects.
