What is J2ObjC?
J2ObjC is an open-source command-line tool from Google that translates Java code to Objective-C for the iOS (iPhone/iPad) platform. This tool enables Java code to be part of an iOS application's build, as no editing of the generated files is necessary. The goal is to write an app's non-UI code (such as data access, or application logic) in Java, which is then shared by web apps (using GWT), Android apps, and iOS apps.
J2ObjC is a tool in the Cross-Platform Mobile Development category of a tech stack.
J2ObjC is an open source tool with 6K GitHub stars and 952 GitHub forks. Here’s a link to J2ObjC's open source repository on GitHub
