GraalVM is a high-performance JDK distribution that compiles your Java applications ahead of time into standalone binaries. These binaries start instantly, provide peak performance with no warmup, and use fewer resources. You can use GraalVM just like any other Java Development Kit in your IDE.
The project website at https://www.graalvm.org/ describes how to get started, how to stay connected, and how to contribute.
Documentation
Please refer to the GraalVM website for documentation. You can find most of the documentation sources in the docs/ directory in the same hierarchy as displayed on the website. Additional documentation including developer instructions for individual components can be found in corresponding docs/ sub-directories. The documentation for the Truffle framework, for example, is in truffle/docs/. This also applies to languages, tools, and other components maintained in related repositories.
