Abstract
A bi-directional conversion library is provided for translating data structures used in a computer program from a first computer programming language to data structures used by a second computer programming language. In the preferred embodiment, a conversion library is provided for converting between Java.TM. and C. The conversion library of the present invention allows existing computer programs to be reused, thereby reducing the effort required to integrate newly written programs to existing systems.
