# `noir_java`: Java-based zkSNARK Proving&Verifying tool for noir-lang
Welcome to `noir_java`, a Java-focused package that offers a powerful and streamlined interface for generating and verifying Noir zkSNARK proofs. This package is specifically tailored for Android and Java environments.
- 
## Key Highlights:
- **Java-Based Solution**: Specially built for Java and Android developers, leveraging the widespread use and flexibility of Java.
- **JNI (Java Native Interface) Bindings**: Uses JNI to connect Java applications with the compiled `noir_rs` library for smooth interaction.
- **zkSNARK Proof Generation & Verification**: Facilitates the creation and verification of zkSNARK proofs
## Motivation:
`noir_java` addresses the increasing relevance of zkSNARKs in privacy and scalability in computing. It is inspired by:
- **Java's Versatility**: Tapping into Java's platform-independence and broad adoption for zkSNARK solutions.
- **Android Compatibility**: Focused on seamless Android integration, enabling mobile applications to utilize zkSNARK proofs.
- **User-Friendly Design**: Aimed at providing Java developers with straightforward tools for zkSNARK proofs, reducing complexity in setup and dependencies.
## How it Works:
1. **Noir Backend for Java**: Incorporates the `noir_rs` library, tailored for Java bindings, essential for efficient zkSNARK proof processes.
## Future Work:
**Enhanced Android Studio Integration**: Anticipating further integration with Android Studio to make `noir_java` more accessible for Android app developers and expand its capabilities across mobile platforms.
## Development Commands:
### Building the Project:
```
gradlew build
```
### Running Tests:
```
gradlew run
```
### Generating and Using Proofs in Java:
- **Proof Generation**: Leverage the Java interface for generating zkSNARK proofs from circuits.
- **Proof Verification**: Verify proofs within Java applications to ensure privacy and computational integrity.
## Target Compatibility:
- **Android**: Optimally designed for Android, empowering mobile apps with zkSNARK capabilities.
- **General Java Applications**: Versatile for any Java environment, suitable for various platforms and architectures.
