API bindings

API bindings allow for programmatic use of IREE's compiler and runtime components. The core IREE project is written in C[^1], allowing for API bindings to be written in a variety of other languages.

!!! question - “Something missing?”

Want to use another language? Looking for something specific out of one of
those already listed?

We welcome discussions on our
[communication channels](../../index.md#communication-channels) and
contributions on [our GitHub page](https://github.com/iree-org/iree)!

Official API bindings

:simple-javascript: JavaScript

• JavaScript bindings for WebAssembly and WebGPU are under development in IREE's experimental/web/ directory.

:fontawesome-brands-java: Java

• Java TFLite bindings were developed at one point in IREE's runtime/bindings/tflite/java directory.

:simple-julia: Julia

• Coil.jl is an experimental package to lower and execute Julia tensor operations to IREE.

:simple-rust: Rust
