Transform Java Library to JavaScript Library

Question

If I have implemented a Java Library (that offers certain functionality), could I transform this into a JavaScript library, such that the same functionality can be offered? I know this may be an ask, but, I was wondering if there are frameworks existing that help in this?

Answer 1

No, in general this is not possible, Java and JavaScript are more or less completely different languages.

However there are a couple of Java to JavaScript translators that you can try. Java2Script is one such tool. Apparently the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) does this as well. Source.

Answer 2

While you could probably do some sort of conversion, it's important to note that Java and JavaScript, while similarly named, are not at all related. Unfortunately, I think you'll be hard pressed to find a framework or system that does a good job converting one to the other. :(
