# ![icon] LIX4J

> [!TIP]

> Before you test out the engine, take a look at the wiki pages. They are worth reading.


> Make sure the feature you want to use is supported by the script language to avoid confusion.

### What's this?

LIX4J is an acronym for Lightweight Interpreted eXecution For Java.

The goal of this project is to implement a scalable and maintainable script engine with a C-like syntax that runs off JVM.

Instead of using types compatible with the engine it allows accessing them directly through [Reflection API][reflection].
