Where can I find information for the JVM binary format in order to create my own JVM

72 Views Asked by At

Is there any documentation on how the JVM runs/interprets Java's binary format? I would like to make my own implementation of the JVM, but I'm unsure where to start.

There is a ~600 page tome on everything about the JVM called the Java Virtual Machine specification. [Find here]

Chapter 4 describes the class file format of the Java Virtual Machine and should give you enough information to get started.
