<h2>JTransc Documentation</h2>

JTransc (Java Trans Compiler) is an AOT (ahead of time compiler) written in <a href="https://kotlinlang.org/">Kotlin</a> that compiles .class and .jar
files into a target executable file bundling all the required dependencies in a single file,
without requiring a jitter or an external runtime. At the beginning it generated AS3 and JavaScript,
but right now there is a single target: <a href="https://haxe.org/">Haxe</a>. This allows targeting Js, AS3, C++, C#, Java, PHP, Python and LUA.
This in turn allows running the program on different platforms such as desktop, browsers and mobile.
