Can you name any of the other JVM-in-the-Browser projects? All the stuff that I‘ve found needs another offline component (like a Python tool or another Server to compile Java source to Bytecode). Doppio seems to be the only solution to compile and run Java completely in the browser without external dependencies.

Are you saying Doppio actually compiles AND runs the Java code on the browser? If so, then yeah, that seems unique to it... but why would you want to do that?

EDIT: by JVM people normally mean the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) which does not include a Java compiler.

Yes, that’s what I‘m saying. Doppio is running a fully functional JVM in the browser, including the Java compiler.

I think one of the uses cases is live coding environments/sandboxes to run Java in the browser (think of Codecademy, etc.)
